GLENDORA, CA — San Gabriel Valley officials will provide an overview of how cities in the area plan to use funds from the American Rescue Plan during a webinar scheduled for June 10.

Around $52.6 million will go to Pasadena, $16.76 million to Montebello, $7.52 million to Glendora and $45.36 million to Pomona.
