Lexington City Council members have been updated on the city’s use of American Rescue Plan Act dollars. Coronavirus recovery funding totaling $121 million came to the city. ARPA Project Manager Jenifer Wuorenmaa reminded members they had allocated, quote, “every dime of this money.” Housing has been one area of focus.
“I got an email last week that you all have allocated $13.1 million to Rick McQuady and the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. As of last week, only $400 of that remains unallocated. And Rick was quick to tell me he already has a project for his next meeting so that money will be gone too, said Wuorenmaa”
