American Rescue Plan Act Spending for Bexar County

What is ARPA

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal government created the State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund to address its economic fallout and lay the foundation for a strong and equitable recovery. The County received half of the funds and will receive the remaining funds in June 2022. Funds must be spent by 2026. Bexar County received $389 million dollars to use for:
