The Act sets aside $65.1 billion to be allocated to counties based on population and sent directly from the Department of Treasury. Gaston County received $43,612,126. Pursuant to Section 13.2 of Chapter 159 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, the Gaston County Grant Project Ordinance (2021-264) for the Gaston County Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds was adopted in regular session by the Gaston County Board of Commissioners on September 28, 2021.
POLICY IMPACT
The Board Action, if approved, amends the Gaston County ARPA Grant Project Ordinance to authorize the County Manager to transfer funds between previously authorized projects. Any transfers done will be reported back to the Board monthly. No additional funds will be appropriated.
