ARPA Survey - Round 2

The Town of Jericho is receiving $1,493,000 million in federal economic relief funding through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The Town conducted a survey in the fall of 2021, in which 261 people participated. We are now further seeking your input through a follow up survey on how this money should be spent to benefit Jericho residents.

Several items rose to the top in the fall survey as agreed upon priorities. Click here to view the full summarized survey results. Our goal with this survey is to take a deeper dive into the already identified priorities to further understand Jericho’s ARPA funding priorities.

Town needs to decide what to spend these funds on by December 31, 2024; and the money must be spent by December 31, 2026. In summary, the ARPA program provides governments across the country with the resources needed to:

• Fight the pandemic and support families and businesses struggling with its public health and economic impacts.
• Maintain vital public services, even amid declines in revenue resulting from the crisis
• Build a strong, resilient, and equitable recovery by making investments that support long-term growth and opportunity
