EP iPoramerrcs QD emet ARPA ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
Just like many other communities across the United States, the City of Nashua is continuing your recovery process from the impacts
of the COVID-19 pandemic. This recovery has been ongoing throughout the life of the pandemic. The City was awarded $873,726
in COVID-19 Business Assistance / CDBG-CV funds which were utilized in a variety of local relief programs, including the City's
COVID-19 Impact Fund Program. This program had the goal of assisting local srnall businesses and non-profits that were significantly
disrupted through three separate rounds of funding distribution. While these funds were instrumental in helping members within the
community return to their pre-pandemic norm, additional funding from the American Rescue Plan Act will only help expedite the
community's recovery,
With the anticipation of over $16 million as part of ARPA, making your Rescue Plan funding program accessible to the community
is critical to addressing local needs. The sooner a pian is in place, the sooner we can design programs to best meet cormmunity needs
and federal requirements. We are prepared with a successful program to help the City of Nashua reach these goals, a program
which is already being used by similar communities across the nation.
iParametrics, Metric, and AG Witt staff have been working together since 2010 to deliver recovery, preparedness, and resilience
programs around the nation. Our partnership and expertise have strengthened over the years as we have responded to an ever
intensifying period of disasters as one team. Beginning in 2020, we expanded our expertise to include COVID-19 recovery and
CARES act funding. Together, we have supported disbursement of over $20 million in federal CARES Act funding to aid 642
households, 139 small businesses, and 63 community organizations—providing bilingual services in English and Spanish. In Finney
County, Kansas, we implemented four programs that have served 100 households, 29 businesses, and 20 community organizations
for the $10.9 million in funding the County received. We also wrote a grant funding request for $1.8 million in new state grants and
launched four grant programs, which increased assistance to County residents and set the County up for success in terms of long-
