The money is in the bank. Bucks County has received $61 million, the first half of the $122 million it has been allocated by the federal American Rescue Plan Act. County Chief Operating Officer Margie McKevitt said Wednesday during a commissioners meeting that the coronavirus relief money had been transferred to the county and now officials will determine how to best spend it. The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will pump the largest sums yet in federal COVID-19 relief into the county — an unprecedented $298 million combined for Bucks government and the 54 municipalities here, as well as the area's 13 public school districts. All entities were due to start receiving the money last week. The balance of the funds will be sent a year from the first distribution, but no sooner.
