Updated ARPA Guidance: Procurement & Compliance Workshop

Updated ARPA Guidance: Procurement & Compliance

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has brought millions in public dollars to cities, towns and other public entities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences. This training discussed the differences between sub-recipients and contractors under the federal rules, fiscal recovery fund spending that is presumed eligible due to the nature of the beneficiaries or the type of project, and rules relating to using fiscal recovery funds on capital expenditures.

This workshop was facilitated by Michael Frieber, Director of Pandemic Funding Oversight Unit at the MA Office of the Inspector General, and FRCOG staff.
