Pinal to receive nearly $45M stimulus in May
by Mark Cowling | Casa Grande Dispatch
Pinal County should receive nearly $45 million in approximately two months, its first payment in the recent COVID-19 stimulus package known as the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The U.S. Treasury Department should be providing guidance on how the money can be spent shortly before it arrives, Vanessa Fielder with the County Supervisors Association told the Pinal County Board of Supervisors Wednesday.
The biggest portion of the nearly $1.9 trillion bill is stimulus payments to individuals totaling $410 billion, followed by $362 billion in state and local government aid. The state’s Joint Legislative Budget Committee estimates Arizona will receive almost $25 billion over the next several years, Fielder said.
