Clackamas County Government: Resident Survey: How Should ClackCo Use $81 Million In Federal Funds?

Press release from the Clackamas County Government:

5/3/2021

Clackamas County is asking residents and stakeholders to take a survey and provide their insight about how $81.1 million in federal funds should be spent to help move our community forward – both to recover from the pandemic, wildfires and ice storm, and to best prepare for future disasters. 

Residents and stakeholders can take the survey at: www.surveymonkey.com/r/7QXKZ6J 

In March, the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) was signed into law. The bill gives emergency funding for state, local, territorial, and tribal governments to provide relief to support public health response work and equitable economic recovery. 

Clackamas County will receive $81.1 million, with the first installment expected early this month (May 2021), and the remainder within 12 months. 

Clackamas County Commissioners will need to make challenging decisions about investing these funds. By completing the survey, county residents are providing officials with valuable insight about the overall needs and values of the community.

More information on the survey can be found at www.clackamas.us/recovery. 

The survey will be open throughout the month of May. The survey primarily focuses on economic recovery options and future disaster preparedness options.
