Approval is Expected in March for Charleston’s ARP Funded Projects

Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin presented the Administration’s recommendations for City project funding allocations to the American Rescue Plan Advisory Committee last week. The City received $36.8 million in ARP funding that will be split between City projects and funding to organizations that applied through an application process. Some of the funding will be immediate, and other amounts will be earmarked for the future to attract folks to Charleston, according to the mayor, with updated turfed sports fields and events like the return of the Charleston Sternwheel Regatta. On Wednesday, February 16, the ARP Committee will meet to create their recommended allocation plan which they will propose to full Council for approval. A resolution introducing the recommendations will take place at City Council on February 22. The final vote at City Council is currently scheduled for March 7, dependent on Finance Committee approval.
