Webinar: Illinois Non-Entitlement Unit Allocations (NEU)
Description
Please join the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity's Office of Regional Economic Development for a webinar to learn more about the Illinois Non-Entitlement Unit Allocations from ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) Program. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) appropriates $19.53 billion to States for distribution to tens of thousands of non-entitlement units of local government (NEUs). ARPA directs the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to make payments to each State for distribution to NEUs within the State. Illinois' NEU allocation is $742 million. In Illinois, eligible NEUs include more than 1,250 cities, towns and villages that each serve a population under 50,000. These funds provide a critical source of relief for local governments, including smaller governments which have not received direct financial assistance from the federal government since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The deadline to claim these funds is September 30, 2021.Presenter: Adrian Madunic, Northwest Regional Manager and Kim Watson, Southern Region Senior Account Manager of Regional Economic Development, Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity
