ROADMAP TO RECOVERY: COOK COUNTY'S AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN

Cook County’s plan for use of its American Recovery Plan Act (ARPA) State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) to promote a response to the pandemic and economic recovery is grounded in its core values of equity, engagement, and excellence. Cook County will use an equity lens to guide its SLFRF allocations to promote racial equity and sustainable impacts across the County. Beyond building on CRF best practices, Cook County’s plan for its ARPA funds will incorporate the following six policy priorities as detailed in its Policy Roadmap:

  • Health and Wellness

  • Economic Development
