The American Rescue Plan Act passed in March of this year and sent $123 million to the City of Syracuse and $89 million for Onondaga County. The goal for this money is to help restore local governments hurting because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In this episode, we look at the plans and priorities of the city and county, and how the money gets from the U.S. Treasury to people in our community who need assistance.
A segment of this show includes audio from the County Executive's budget presentation that was provided by CNYCentral.
