THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN 2021

How can recipient governments use relief allocations from the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds?

1. To respond to the COVID-19 pandemic or its negative economic impacts

2. For provision of government services (to extent of the reduction of revenue due to pandemic)

3. To make necessary investments in water, sewer, or broadband infrastructure

How Can GIS Help?

GIS can aid in:

COVID-19 Mitigation and Prevention
Recovery through Economic and Equitable Recovery
Recovery through Affordable Housing
Recovery through Homelessness Services
Recovery through Parks and Recreation
Recovery through Public Works and Infrastructure Investments
Recovery through Distribution and Access to Broadband

Our team at GTG has spent nights and weekends reading the Act (literally) and associated releases from the Treasury Department to identify ways that GIS can be used to assist in the Recovery. As time is of the essence (funds are available now), we have created a brief (20-30) minute webinar to share what we have learned. To access the webinar, click the button below.
