RivCoParks PROJECT UPDATES Anthony Miller, Facilities Project Manager I

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) was passed by Congress on March 10, 2021 and signed into law on March 11, 2021. This bill aimed to provide additional relief to address the continued impacts of COVID-19 in communities. The Riverside County Board of Supervisors has allocated funds countywide for each agency & district to address major infrastructure and revitalization projects identi ed as holding key importance for the recovery, long-term growth, and improvement within communities. In all, RivCoParks is currently managing 14 ARPA funded projects totaling over $25,000,000. Two of our original projects were re-evaluated for potential reallocation due to complications beyond our control. RivCoParks Planning, Development, and Interpretation team (PDI) are managing the remainder of the projects and are proud to report the remainder of the projects remain on track. PDI is working hard to coordinate successful design, bidding, and construction phases of the proj ects over the coming years.
