Henrico County, VA 2021 Recovery Plan Performance Report 1

Executive Summary 

As part of the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal 

Recovery Funds (“SLFRF”) terms of award, Henrico County has prepared this Initial Recovery

Plan and Performance Report (“the Report”) for the period spanning the date of award to July 

31, 2021. The information contained in this report is to provide the general public and U.S. 

Department of the Treasury a comprehensive review of Henrico County’s plan and use of the 

SLFRF funds. This initial report was constructed based on guidance contained in the U.S. 

Department of the Treasury’s Compliance and Report Guide version 1.1 dated June 24, 2021.

As of July 31, 2021, Henrico County has not appropriated nor expended any part of the SLFRF 

funds received. The County intends to engage the community through public hearings and other 

existing methods to determine the best use of these funds in the coming weeks. Henrico County 

is dedicated to being a diverse, equitable, and responsible force in our community and will 

continue to uphold these values while implementing projects under the SLFRF program.

Uses of Funds

Henrico County applied for SLFRF funds on July 15, 2021; and was subsequently awarded 

$64,257,518.00. Half of the award, $32,128,759, was confirmed received on July 22, 2021. As of 

July 31, 2021, County leadership had not determined final use of these funds, recognizing there 

are countless possibilities to utilize these funds to benefit the greater community. Potential uses

under initial consideration include:

• Water and wastewater infrastructure improvements in the centered around the oldest 

sections of the system and the community’s most vulnerable populations.

Public hearings and other opportunities for public engagement are expected to commence during 

the months of August and September 2021 to better equip County leadership in deciding the final 

uses of the SLFRF award.

Promoting equitable outcomes 

Henrico County prides itself in being an incredibly diverse locality dedicated to promoting equity

among its residents. Once final uses of funds have been determined, the County will strive to 

implement these programs with our most vulnerable and marginalized populations taking priority.

Community Engagement 

Henrico County will hold a public hearing with regard to the proposed uses of these funds at an 

advertised place and time to gather the public’s input. Other opportunities for public engagement 

may be considered as various projects are considered throughout the planning process. Once 

uses are determined, the County will continue to update citizens through already established 

regular communications networks.

Labor Practices 

Henrico County received the honor of being named one of the 2021 Top Work Places in the 

Greater Richmond Area by the Richmond Times Dispatch. This distinction was determined 

through multiple testimonials provided by employees on numerous topics affecting morale in the 

workplace including leadership, training, community involvement, diversity and others. The 

County is dedicated to leveraging the recognition and results of the survey as a benchmark of 

how employees perceive the County and to understand what areas growth and improvement are 

needed. The County supports a full-time Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Specialist who assists in 

promoting best practices, resources and partnerships to achieve these goals separate from the 

services offered by Employee Relations, adding an additional level of protection for employees.

The County also monitors labor market trends and analyses to proactively identify and make 

equitable adjustments to job classifications and alleviate wage compression by building on 

previous efforts and through the award of additional pay step increases.

Any projects that receive SLFRF funds will be subject to these same practices. Specifics will be 

provided in future reports once uses of funds are identified.

Use of Evidence 

Henrico County does not currently intend to utilize SLFRF funds for evidenced-based 

interventions. Future projects may be subject to evaluations in like kind.
