How should the City of Champaign use American Rescue Plan funding?

The City of Champaign is looking for public input as they make decisions about how to spend the more than $25 million they are set to receive in recovery funds. There are federal mandates about how the money should be spent, as well as some guiding principles that the City Council has decided on. You can read about those here.

We know you have thoughts. Please take some time to share them!

There are a couple of different ways you can offer your thoughts: by taking this community survey, or by attending a public input session in person or over Zoom. Here are the dates for those.
