Frederick County hoping to allocate remaining federal funds quickly

Frederick County officials worry that Congress could claw back funds from the county’s $50 million American Rescue Plan Act allocation that have not yet been committed to a local organization. Frederick County is scheduled to receive its second $25 million federal allocation in May. If the County Council votes Tuesday to formally accept the funds, the county can continue to promise funding for local projects and lower the amount of money that Congress could potentially rescind, county officials said.
