Cities in Orange County, California, are using their shares of the $350 billion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) stimulus to rebuild from the economically crippling CCP virus pandemic.

The federal aid is meant to help lessen the economic harm and recover lost revenue during the pandemic. Each of Orange County’s 34 cities are receiving a share of about $715 million from the ARPA, which will be distributed in two tranches, one year apart.
