The Town of Norwich is slated to receive a little over $1 million from the federal government under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

That is a significant bump from the approximately $366,000 the Town was expecting. The additional dollars represent Norwich’s share of the money allocated by the feds to county government in Windsor County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

County government is or is nearly non existent in Vermont. As a result, on July 30, the United States Department of Treasury determined that Vermont’s 14 counties are not “units of general local government,” according to the ARPA webpage at the website of the Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT)<\/a>. “This cleared the way for the $121,202,550 in county ARPA funding to be distributed to Vermont\u2019s towns, cities and villages.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARPA outlines four categories where the Town could spend the money. See box below. Federal guidelines are not final. At present, funds do not have to be obligated until December 31, 2024<\/a>. The VLCT webpage indicates the Town could transfer money to a special purpose municipality, such as the Fire District for water infrastructure work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
