Guilford County seeks input on how to spend federal American Rescue Plan funds

Guilford County residents have until the end of the month to make suggestions on how the local government should spend $104 million in American Rescue Plan funds.

The money is intended to help communities respond to the pandemic and make investments in long-term plans.

Eligible uses include recovering from pandemic-related economic losses, funding for public health, boosting pay for essential workers and infrastructure for utilities and broadband.

Suggestions are being taken through Guilford County's website.
