First Toledo Recovery Plan Public Meeting Tomorrow

The first public meeting to solicit input from Toledoans on how to direct the city’s $180.9 million American Rescue Plan Act funding will be 6 p.m., Thursday, July 22, at Rogers High School, 222 McTigue Dr.

“We want to be sure as many Toledoans as possible offer input on how to dedicate the $180.9 million from the federal government through the American Rescue Plan Act,” Mayor Kapszukiewicz said. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to invest in our community and that is why it is so important we get feedback and input.”

Toledoans are asked to complete a survey, which is posted at toledo.oh.gov/recovery. The public may also email ideas to recovery@toledo.oh.gov.

The local program for the federal funding has been named the “Toledo Recovery Plan.” The other public meetings will be held as follows:
