Where Nassau County’s $385M in ARPA funds went before the 2024 deadline

Nassau County received $385 million in ARPA, or pandemic relief, funds from the federal government in 2021 to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The county had until the end of 2024 to allocate all of these funds to projects within the permitted use designated by the federal government. If these funds had not been designated for a project, the county would have lost them.
