Submitted by BridgetB on March 14, 2022 - 2:26pm

City of Urbana COVID Recovery Funds (ARPA) - Public Survey

The City of Urbana was awarded $12.9 million in Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds established in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA). This is a one-time program that will not provide additional funds in the future. 

The best way to provide public input is to complete a short survey. The survey should only take a few minutes and helps provide an objective framework for collecting and analyzing community input. Please take a moment to complete the survey. The survey is also available in Spanish, French, and Chinese. Paper surveys will also be available at the City building, Urbana Free Library and Cunningham Township.

Sidewalks need to be cleared by 11:00 a.m., Saturday, February 19, 2022. Public sidewalks within these districts, which are not in compliance, could be cleared by the City at the expense of the adjacent property owner, with additional fines and administrative fees applied.
