How Much RI Gets In New Stimulus Bill: Town-By-Town Estimates

PROVIDENCE, RI — Congress recently passed the American Rescue Plan, the latest attempt to help the country financially navigate the coronavirus pandemic. Along with $1,400 stimulus checks to eligible residents, the relief package includes funding for cities and towns.
