Beverly Wants Input On Use Of $12.6 Million In Rescue Plan Funds

BEVERLY, MA — Beverly is looking for public input on how to spend $12.6 million in American Rescue Plan funding that is due to the city.

Beverly Mayor Mike Cahill will solicit feedback during a virtual forum on Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. The public meeting can be accessed here.

Cahill said the city will receive $12.6 million of the $1.9 billion act that President Joe Biden signed into effect on March 11, 2021 and that money will "lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery" from the coronavirus crisis.

Beverly residents, business owners and community organizations will have the opportunity to share their pandemic experiences, share their ideas, and share their priorities for how this funding should be used in the city.

Residents are encouraged to go here in advance to find out how the funds can be used.
