Observer Highway- Hoboken, NJ

Hudson County will receive $424,614,802.61 in federal aid from the American Rescue Plan, with $130.41 million allocated to the county government and $294,204,802.61 going towards the 12 municipalities, U.S. Senators Bob Menendez and Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced according to Hudson County View. Out of those allocations, Hoboken will receive $27,201,022.91. 

This allowed the Garden State to receive about $1 billion more than they would have if the money been distributed by population.

“With state and local governments across our country facing the painful decisions of potentially laying off thousands of police officers, firefighters, teachers, and other essential workers, and cutting essential services, the full support of our federal government has never been more important to fight this pandemic.”

The direct, flexible funding can be used by state and local governments to pay COVID-related expenses; cover lost revenues due to the pandemic to maintain critical services and avoid layoffs of essential workers; provide additional assistance to residents and small businesses; and invest in water, sewer and broadband infrastructure.
