ARPA Spending Plan
The City of Hyattsville was awarded $17.9 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) awards. The City Council has made spending plans for $9.5m on projects like emergency assistance for residents and businesses, food support, necessary City equipment, and program administration.
The City has $8.4 million remaining to spend or obligate by the federal deadline of December 31, 2024.
City Council is currently in the process of developing a spending plan for those funds. Council and Staff submitted 33 initiatives for consideration as part of the ARPA Spending Plan, totaling approximately $8m - $11.7m based on known or estimated costs.
Legacy costs for these initiatives range from $1.8m - $5.4m annually. Approximately $2.2m - $5.2m would be a one-time investment.
