American Rescue Plan: Think Big Chillicothe
The City of Chillicothe has received $2.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in response to the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency. We're asking for your input on how to spend it!
Over the summer, Mayor Feeney and the City Administration asked you to share your ideas on how to improve our community as it relates to education, economic development, housing, parks and public spaces, city infrastructure and services, and health!
During those in-person sessions throughout June and July, we collected more than 300 ideas from community residents. Those in attendance were asked to vote for their favorite ideas of the night. Now, those top ideas from each session are detailed below and we would like to hear from the community as we prioritize our recovery needs. Our goals include both direct financial support of our community as well as coordinating with our partners in local, state, and federal government. Help us prioritize those projects by filling your cart with the projects most important to you that fit within the given budget.
We appreciate you input on this once-in-a-generation investment. Scroll down to get started!
