URBANA, Ill. (WCIA) — Over the next three nights, the Urbana City Council will be hearing a number of proposals from groups hoping to receive funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. In an interview on The Morning Show on Nov. 17, Urbana Mayor Diane Marlin said the city has about $10 million of funding from the ARPA that has yet to be allocated. The city council decided this funding will go toward several areas it identified as being priorities: housing and food insecurity, support for small businesses, recreation and youth programming and addressing community violence.
