American Rescue Plan and Lowell At Tuesday’s City Council meeting there was much discussion on a report from the City Manager to the Council on the future expenditure of ARPA funds. ARPA stands for the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, a $1.9 trillion bill passed by Congress in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the recession caused by it. The city’s share is $76 million dollars. The money must be obligated by the end of 2024 and spent by the end of 2026. The money may be used for several broad categories including Covid-caused loss of city revenue, public health, and “premium pay for essential workers.”
Thanks to CAJ for catching the "baseball" typo. Healey was definitely a BASKETBALL player. She was captain of her college team at Harvard and then played pro in Europe for several years before returning to the US to attend law school at Northeastern.

Excellent view of ARP and the Comprehensive Master Plan for city.
You identify Maura Healey above as a former baseball player, but I'm pretty sure her sports background is basketball instead.
