Federal Aid Package Approved in Response to Coronavirus

Today, Congress approved and President Trump signed into law an aid package in response to the nationwide/worldwide coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The approved legislation infuses essential funding, and includes solutions designed to provide temporary relief throughout this crisis for: 1) state and local governments; 2) healthcare, education, and essential services; 3) businesses large and small; and 4) individuals.

In the next few days, highlights, particularly as the package impacts small counties and rural residents, will be prepared by RCRC’s federal affairs advocates under the direction of Sheryl Cohen of ACG. That analysis should be forthcoming early next week.
