Once-in-a-Generation Investment in Akron

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has given Akron $145M in federal funds, the largest influx of funding in Akron's history.

These funds give Akron a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in myriad sectors throughout our community.

We can create a safer, healthier, and more equitable Akron for generations to come.

Message from Mayor Horrigan

“The American Rescue Plan funding is a once-in-a-lifetime boost Akron will use to create lasting growth and positive change for future generations. We've taken the time to look carefully at how we spend this money in a way that is equitable and benefits everyone, especially focusing on those who were hardest hit by the pandemic. I'm confident that our investment plans will be a catalyst for Akron to not only bounce back from the harmful impacts of the pandemic, but to help our city thrive as we move forward."
