What Local Municipalities Are Getting from ARPA Fund

The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), a federal stimulus bill to aid public health and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, included $350 billion – known as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – in emergency funding for state, local and territorial and tribal governments. 

State governments and the District of Columbia will receive $195.3 billion of the state portion. Wisconsin’s share was $2.5 billion. The County of Door’s slice was $5,374,185. Fifty percent of that money was awarded in 2021, with the remainder coming in 2022. 

Municipalities with populations of fewer than 50,000 – which is every municipality within Door County – needed to file electronic requests with the state by June 18, 2021, in order to receive their share of the money. If any municipality did not file a timely request, those payments may be significantly delayed or forfeited.

The allocation for the City of Sturgeon Bay is $935,108.87. The other allocations, based on 2019 census populations, are as follows, according to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
