View Comments The city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County are expected to receive a combined $469 million in American Rescue Plan funds to help our community recover from the personal and economic challenges of the pandemic. In the city of Cincinnati’s case, all but $35 million will be spent in 2021 to address the city’s financial stability. After approving an initial amount for minority businesses, arts, restaurants and $2 million to restore human services cuts from last year, the city has a mere $20 million left for community recovery supports. Meanwhile, well over $100 million in spending requests have been submitted. How should the city and county choose to invest these limited, once-in-a-generation funds to have the greatest impact on our community’s recovery?
