ESSENTIAL ECONOMIC RECOVERY Senate Proposal, COVID-19 Relief Package

The National League of Cities is urging communities to take action and be a part of very important legislation for coronavirus relief funds for state and local governments:

The Senate released proposal for the next coronavirus relief package, is the  opens in a new windowHEALS Act. This version does not include additional funds for state and local governments. Our communities cannot recover without additional federal support and flexibility is not enough. We cannot let another federal legislative package reach the President’s desk without providing aid directly to cities, towns, townships and boroughs, where it will make the greatest difference for America’s recovery.
