American Rescue Plan Act – State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds
Volusia County has been allocated $107.4 million from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CLFRF). The County Council has met multiple times in open public forums to develop priorities and a plan for expenditure of these funds.
On February 15, 2022, the Council passed Resolution No. 2022-22 which approved Volusia County’s slate of projects to utilize this CLFRF. Volusia County’s Recovery plan focuses on addressing the needs of residents and families hardest hit by the COVID-19 public health emergency and necessary infrastructure investments to support the citizens of Volusia County. The County Council has approved amendments to the budgetary plan for the CLFRF funds in both August 2022 and December 2022. In June 2024, the Council further amended the plan, which included the incorporation of several staff-level budget adjustments, the majority of which were to deobligate funding for completed projects. In November 2024, the Council made additional amendments, most of which were the result of bid vs budget variances as well as granting staff the authority to make additional minor amendments to move money between allocated projects.
A summary of the amended plan, as of June 30, 2025, allocated into expenditures categories in accordance with United States Department of Treasury reporting requirements is as follows:
| EC # | Category | Amount Budgeted | Amount Expended |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Public Health | $ 8,151,243 | $ 7,817,988 |
