Indiana Directed $300 Million In Federal Funding For TheÂ Coronavirus Aid

06/17/2020

Many communities faced unexpected expenses while responding to the coronavirus as they ramped up public health and safety efforts. To help, Indiana directed $300 million in federal funding from theÂ Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economics Security ActÂ to counties and communities for reimbursement of expenses related to the pandemic.

Posey County is eligible for $828,614 and Vanderburgh County for $5,871,481 in reimbursement funding. In addition, several local communities are eligible to receive the following amounts:

Cynthiana $17,519;
Darmstadt $46,329;
Evansville $3,827,165;
Griffin $5,515;

Mount Vernon $209,489;
New Harmony $24,624; and
Poseyville $33,514.

This funding is allocated based on population and cannot be used to replace lost tax revenue.

All levels of government pulled together to protect Hoosiers, especially our most vulnerable. This federal funding is welcomed as unexpected expenses like purchasing personal protection equipment for first responders took a toll on local budgets.

The Indiana Finance AuthorityÂ is in charge of implementing guidelines on how each county, city and town can use the funding, as well as collecting reimbursement requests. VisitÂ in.gov/ifaÂ to learn more
