American Rescue Plan

Ohio city mayors, county commissioners, and other local officials met with White House officials to talk about how municipalities have utilized money from the American Rescue Plan Act.

Gov. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) noted the money comes from the American Rescue Plan, which passed Congress last year with no support from any Republican representatives or senators.

The groups — after unveiling an online tool that tracks federal relief dollars — called for Gov. Mike DeWine to put more federal COVID-19 relief dollars into food assistance and other services for an “equitable recovery.”

The measure, now up for consideration in the Ohio Senate, would send more than $420 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to Ohio communities.

The money is intended to help different companies and organizations continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Among the proposals is a bill to appropriate money to Ohio nursing homes.
