GENERAL OVERVIEW

Executive Summary 

The Madison County Commission was awarded $72,433,202 of State and Local Fiscal Recovery 

Funds. The Commission received the first 50% payment of $36,216,601 on June 17, 2021.The 

County should receive the second 50% payment of $36,216,601 by July of 2022. Funds must be

The Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide a substantial infusion of 

resources to help turn the tide on the pandemic, address its economic fallout, and lay the 

foundation for a strong and equitable recovery.

Uses of Funds

Within the categories of eligible uses, Madison County has broad flexibility to decide how best 

to use this funding to meet the needs of our communities. 

Supporting the public health response

Mitigating the impact of COVID-19 continues to require an unprecedented public health 

response from local governments. Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds provide 

resources to meet these needs through the provision of care for those impacted by the virus and 

through services that address disparities in public health that have been exacerbated by the 

pandemic. Madison County may use this funding to address a broad range of public health needs 

across COVID-19 mitigation, medical expenses, behavioral healthcare, and public health 

resources.

Addressing the negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency

The COVID-19 public health emergency resulted in significant economic hardship for many 

Americans. As businesses closed, consumers stayed home, schools shifted to remote education, 

and travel declined precipitously. To help alleviate the economic hardships caused by the 

pandemic, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds enable local governments to 

provide a wide range of assistance impacted industries, in addition to enabling governments to 

rehire public sector staff and rebuild capacity.

Serving the hardest-hit communities and families

While the pandemic has affected communities across the country, it has disproportionately 

impacted low-income families and has exacerbated systemic health and economic inequities.

Low-income and socially vulnerable communities have experienced the most severe health 

impacts

Investing in water and sewer infrastructure

Madison County may use this funding to invest in an array of drinking water infrastructure 

projects, such as building or upgrading facilities and transmission, distribution, and storage 

systems, including the replacement of lead service lines.

Promoting equitable outcomes 

Madison County’s programs will be designed to promote equitable outcomes, advancing equity 

and support for underserved communities and vulnerable populations. Information on Qualified 

Census Tracts and the Center for Disease Control’s Social Vulnerability Index is currently being 

evaluated. Madison County will focus its efforts on providing services and programs to address 

the negative economic impacts of the pandemic through strategic targeted programing.

Community Engagement

Madison County will conduct various methods of community engagement through interest 

forms, longstanding community organizations, meetings with elected officials across the county, 

department heads, and staff, and other forums to create a plan well suited to meet the needs of 

Madison County.

Labor Practices 

Madison County uses and will continue to use strong labor practices that promote safe, effective, 

and efficient work environments for all employees. All infrastructure projects will be staffed 

utilizing workers that meet or exceed all local, state, and federal guidelines to provide strong 

employment opportunities for workers.

Use of Evidence 

Madison County’s commitment to an equitable economic recovery includes the use of evidencebased interventions in situations where program evaluations are not conducted. If applicable, 

detailed evidence information will be provided for each project in the Project Inventory section 

below.
