GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

On March 11, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law, and established the Coronavirus 

State Fiscal Recovery Fund and Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, which together make up the 

Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”) program. This program is intended to 

provide support to local governments in responding to the economic and public health impacts of 

COVID-19 and in their efforts to contain impacts on their communities, residents, and businesses.

Greenville County, South Carolina has not been immune to the ravages that the COVID-19 pandemic has 

caused. Residents have lost lives, employment, incomes, housing, educational opportunities and more 

while our local government has provided reliable and constant services throughout this difficult time. 

However, all of that has come at a cost. As of August 31, 2021, Greenville County has an estimated 

revenue loss of $31,425,244. During the pandemic, Greenville County received $91 million of Federal 

CARES Act money to provide relief directly related to the COVID-19 pandemic in our community. 

Greenville County CARES program provided funding to businesses, nonprofits, public health

organizations, local governments, housing agencies, and more. During this time, County Council and 

staff had many conversations with community leaders and subject matter experts as to what needs 

caused by the pandemic still need to be addressed and how these needs could be addressed in an 

equitable manner, should additional funding become available. 

In June 2021, Greenville County received $50,845,948 in SLFRF funding representing 50% of the total 

allocation. As of the date of this report, conversations and studies are still being conducted to 

determine the best use of the SLFRF funds. The County has identified areas that represent the most 

pressing needs in our community and once a formal plan is submitted and approved by Greenville 

County Council the plan will be uploaded to the Treasury Department portal and to the Greenville 

County website.

Uses of Funds

Greenville County has preliminarily discussed using SLFRF funds in 4 categories: Greenville County 

Revenue Loss, Affordable Housing, Public Health, and Community and Economic Development. Given 

the state of our local economy and how the pandemic has disproportionately affected many residents, 

the County felt like the tranches listed above were the best uses of the recovery dollars. 

Once a final plan is developed, it will be uploaded onto the Treasury portal and on our website. 

Promoting equitable outcomes 

As of August 31, 2021, Greenville County does not have an approved plan for the SLFRF funding. Once a 

plan is approved, the County’s goals, communication and marketing plans, and outcomes will be 

provided.

Community Engagement 

As of August 31, 2021, Greenville County does not have an approved plan for the SLFRF funding. Once a 

plan is approved, a community engagement plan will be provided. Greenville County anticipates 

partnerships with local non-profits, community centers, libraries, health care systems, local media 

outlets and others to ensure services are being provided to those most vulnerable and at-risk. The 

County will place a special emphasis on residents living in qualified census tracks, minorities, and other 

vulnerable populations.

Labor Practices 

As of August 31, 2021, Greenville County does not have an approved plan for the SLFRF funding. Once a 

plan is approved, if any infrastructure projects are being pursued they will include labor standards 

promoting local hiring, minority partnerships and community benefit agreements.

Use of Evidence 

As of August 31, 2021, Greenville County does not have an approved plan for the SLFRF funding. Once a 

plan is approved, funded projects will have evidence-based interventions and/or evaluations to support 

funding as well as goals and objectives for each project that will be continually evaluated based on the 

measures outlined. Greenville County will work with our partners to ensure the SLFRF funds are helping 

those most impacted by the covid-19 pandemic.
