STATE COLLEGE — Governments of all sizes across the United States are nearing the deadline to commit pandemic relief funding from the federal government. As more comprehensive information on how tens of thousands of entities have used the public dollars is released, parsing the funds’ final destinations and impacts still takes some work.
The funding, authorized as a part of the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act, gave an unprecedented amount of aid to about 31,000 state, county, city, tribal, territorial, and local governments.
