NACo: Federal Public Lands Counties Applaud Direct Aid In The American Rescue Plan Act NACo News: WASHINGTON The National Association of Counties (NACo) Saturday welcomed inclusion of a new program to provide additional direct aid to public lands counties as a part of the American Rescue Plan Act. Sixty-two percent of America’s counties contain untaxable federal public lands, yet counties are still responsible for providing many services in and around these lands. The Local Assistance and Tribal Consistency Fund, spearheaded by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), will provide $1.5 billion in direct, flexible aid to public lands counties over the next two years, in addition to the American Rescue Plan Act’s $65.1 billion county aid package.
