EASTON, PA \u2013 June 17, 2021 \u2013 Mayor Sal Panto, Jr. announced today that the City of Easton is conducting a public online survey to assist the city in prioritizing the areas in which it should use its $20.7 million allocation of the American Recovery Plan funds.<\/p>\n
The federal government is providing the funds to states, cities, and counties across the country to help them recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. So far Easton has received $10.33 million of its allotted amount. City administration is awaiting final direction from the federal government on allowable uses of the funds, which it hopes to receive in July.<\/p>\n
Preliminary direction indicates that funds can be used in key categories including economic development, public health, and water, sewer and broadband infrastructure, the areas which the survey focuses on.<\/p>\n
Respondents are asked to rate items in each category as high priority, moderate priority, or low priority. They are also able to provide specific feedback in an open-ended comment box, and provide their personal contact information for follow-up purposes.<\/p>\n
The survey can be completed on the city\u2019s web site here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/eastonARPsurvey<\/a>. It will be open for responses until Friday, July 16 at 5 pm. After the survey closes, city administration will compile the survey results and present the findings to Easton City Council at its July 28 meeting.<\/p>\n Information provided to TVL by: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EASTON, PA \u2013 June 17, 2021 \u2013 Mayor Sal Panto, Jr. announced today that the City of Easton is conducting a public online survey to assist the city in … Continue reading City of Easton invites public to complete online survey to help prioritize usage of federal American Recovery Plan funds<\/span>
