COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA — This (Wednesday) evening, May 4th, at 7pm, local residents and community leaders will gather at the Council Bluffs Public Library to discuss how Pottawattamie County should spend our next disbursement of American Rescue Plan COVID Recovery funds. Pottawattamie County is set to receive an additional $9 million in federal recovery funding from the American Rescue Plan Act. County residents are calling on the Board of Supervisors to survey the county to identify the most immediate needs of our community and to join in listening session Town Halls hosted by United Today, Stronger Tomorrow & Coalition members.

You’re invited to join members of your community in discussing the most responsive and responsible way to spend an additional $9 million in federal Covid recovery funding coming to Pottawattamie County, in May. The County Board of Supervisors – who tasked with spending these funds – have been invited to attend, as well as other local elected officials.

The goal is a friendly dialogue, and civil conversation. Refreshments will be provided.
