The City of San Marcos was recently allocated $18.1 million through the American Rescue Plan.
The funding is distributed by the U.S. Department of Treasury in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the city, funds may be used to respond to acute pandemic response needs, fill local government revenue shortfalls, and for investments in critical water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure.
“As our recovery from the economic hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic continues, this funding will ensure the City is able to continue to provide essential services with the care and efficiency our residents deserve,” City Manager Bert Lumbreras said in a statement. “We extend our gratitude to our federal delegation who supported this legislation, including Rep. Lloyd Doggett and Rep. Vicente Gonzalez.”
