The Treasury Department released much-awaited figures regarding aid from the American Rescue Plan Act Monday evening. In total Virginia’s set to receive $7.2 billion. $4.3 billion will go to the state, and $2.9 billion directly to localities.
Virginia’s cities organize themselves in a way that’s unlike almost all other states. That created worries that cities would miss out on their share of funds from the America Rescue Plan Act. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, along with Virginia’s House Democrats, wrote to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen asking her to give independent cities money for both cities and counties.
County allocations are generally based on population, where as metro city allocations were based on a set of variables from the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, wrote Rob Bullington of the Virginia Municipal League in an email. Independent cities don't fall into either of these categories.
“I think the Virginia delegation did a great job in making the case that this was the legislative intent of ARPA that these funds be provided as was shown in the first traunch,” said Bob Lazaro, the Executive Director of the Northern Virginia Regional Commission.
This distinction was worth $500 million. The federal government ended up deciding that the state’s Independent Cities were eligible for funds allocated to counties and cities. Chesapeake for example will get $48 million in the disbursements to counties and $28 million in the portion for cities. Danville will receive $29 million in ARPA funds.
“The pandemic's not over... and you still have people in need, you have businesses in need,” Lazaro said. “These dollars will go a long way in ameliorating those issues.”
"We're happy to have that $20 million coming our way," said Samuel Parham, the Mayor of Petersburg. "We'll be focused more on our kids here in the city. Due to COVID we've lost two years of instructional time and especially for our younger kids. So, I see this next round focusing on more programs for our kids to get them caught up."
More money, $633 million, will be distributed by the state to "non-entitltement communities."
