Monmouth County receives $108 million in federal COVID-19 relief
Monmouth County has been awarded $108 million in federal CARES Act funds, Freeholder Director Tom Arnone announced.
The $107,974,955.70 comes as part of the $2.2 trillion stimulus package signed into law last month and is to be used to offset the unexpected expenditures related to COVID-19 from March 1, 2020 through Dec. 30, 2020.
“We are grateful to the federal government and our congressional delegation for this funding that will help us continue to serve the residents of Monmouth County,” said Freeholder Director Thomas A. Arnone. “The County remains on the front-lines of the response to this pandemic and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the health and safety of our residents.”
“While the money has been given directly to the County to offset costs, we are planning to use this funding to provide relief to all 53 of our municipalities,” added Arnone. “I plan on reaching out to the mayors once we receive more guidelines on how we can use these funds.”
