City Of Napa: Take Our Survey On Community Recovery Bank Funding

Press release from the City of Napa:

April 1, 2022

NAPA, CA — The Napa City Council recently approved the allocation of the City’s $15.12 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding. Consistent with ARPA’s intent to replace public sector revenue loss and support economic stabilization following COVID-19, the City will primarily use the funding to address core infrastructure needs and support Council priorities on homelessness, economic recovery and workforce stability.

Additionally, the Council recognizes that COVID-19 negatively impacted community members and small businesses and has directed that ARPA funds also be made available to directly help those in need. A “Community Recovery Bank” has been established to support immediate economic stabilization for local households and businesses, with a total allocation to this bank of $1,150,000. The Community Recovery Bank was designed to include discretionary funds that could be guided more directly by local initiatives or organizations.

The City of Napa is seeking feedback from the public to help prioritize areas of community need. The Napa City Council will use this important data to guide decisions and discussions on how best to distribute these Community Recovery Bank funds.

Please take our survey no later than Friday, April 15th, to let us know your thoughts on how this funding would best support our community. This survey should take no longer than 1-3 minutes.
Please note: Selected projects or programs will be required to comply with ARPA eligibility rules and strict reporting requirements.
