Maricopa County is giving almost $400 million to the local economy to help with the battle against COVID-19.
With a recent vote by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, it is clear how families, businesses and health care professionals will benefit from the federal CARES Act.
Clint Hickman, Board of Supervisors chairman, commented on the effort.
“Our first job is to protect community health and safety. That’s why the bulk of our spending is focused on what we can do to address the immediate health emergency, as well as what we can do to be prepared for whatever happens next during this pandemic,” Hickman said, according to the Maricopa County website. “I appreciate the work of the entire Maricopa County team as we look to wisely use these funds to attack the spread of the virus and assist those facing financial hardship.”
Maricopa County was approved for $399 million from the U.S. Treasury for Coronavirus Aid.
