American Rescue Plan Update

January 1, 2022 - Since last summer, All In for Milford has been in contact with municipal, state and federal political leaders about the $26,295,776 allocated to Milford in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

From the start, we have advocated for a transparent process, where all Milford residents are informed and have the opportunity to take part in the conversation about how these funds will be spent.

Our community organizing efforts have led to over 100 proposals being submitted to the City of Milford for consideration, and a series of community forums last fall.

All In for Milford is currently in communication with Alders and the Blake Administration to get up-to-date information about the process for the allocation of ARPA funds. We know at least 15 million dollars have already been allocated to various projects, although the details of these awards are unknown.

As it stands, we expect the next ARPA update from the City to be released near or on January 31, 2022. This report will likely be more of a review of money already spent, rather than a framework of priorities and plans for the rest of the funds.

We hope to work with City officials to host another public forum on the status of ARPA in Milford in the near future.

Again, stay tuned for more information soon, and tell us if you’re interested in getting more involved please contact us at info@allinformilford.org.
