2021 Report

Note: The Recovery Plan Performance Report will provide the public and Treasury information on the
projects that recipients are undertaking with program funding and how they are planning to ensure
program outcomes are achieved in an effective, efficient, and equitable manner. While this template
includes the minimum requirements for the Recovery Plan, each recipient is encouraged to add
information to the plan that they feel is appropriate to provide information to their constituents on efforts
they are taking to respond to the pandemic and promote an equitable economic recovery.

Each jurisdiction may determine the general form and content of the Recovery Plan, as long as it
meets the reporting requirements, and recipients are encouraged to tailor this template to best meet
their needs. Use of infographics, tables, charts, pictures, case studies, and other explanatory elements
are encouraged.



Project overview

The ARPA Local funds were received from the US Treasury on June 1, 2021. The Mississippi
Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) collaborated with the Mississippi Municipal
League (MML) to help disseminate information to the NEUs. MML sent several emails in June
to all Mayors and municipal clerks to encourage them to prepare for the opening of the DFA
ARPA Local Portal. Only July 1, DFA was able to open the portal to begin taking requests.

(www.dfa.ms.gov/arpa)
Over the next 31 days, DFA worked with MML to continue to encourage NEUs to apply for these

funds. MML also hosted a training session during their annual conference to help disseminate
information to municipalities.

Over the course of the 31 days, NEUs received email correspondence and phone calls to
provide assistance to the NEUs.

As of July 31, 2021, $117,229,295.11 has been distributed to 194 NEUs throughout Mississippi.
These municipalities have been reminded that they will need to report to the U.S. Treasury with
their expenses on or before October 31, 2021.

Two NEUs, Learned and Big Creek, declined the funds. The $57,773.62 has been transferred
to the State of Mississippi.
