Rep. Robinson votes to deliver over $6.2 million in American Rescue Plan funds to House District 6
COLUMBUS— State Rep. Phil Robinson (D-Solon) this week voted in favor of House Bill (HB) 377, bipartisan legislation to release the second, $442 million batch of local government funding from President Biden’s American Rescue Plan to Ohio’s cities, villages and townships serving 50,000 people or less. Communities of more than 50,000 people receive their allocation directly from the federal government.
HB 377 brings the total distribution to local governments to $844 million. The distribution amounts are in accordance with a population-based formula from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and guidance issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
“I am glad that we could work together at the Statehouse to bring these federal funds to our local governments in a time when they need them more than ever,” said Rep. Robinson. “We need to continue to build off of the good work of President Biden as we support our communities and our state recovers from the impact of the pandemic.”
