- Meeting Overview:
The Plymouth Board of County Commissioners announced the distribution of over $92 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, achieving an administrative cost of less than 1%. The meeting primarily focused on approving this disbursement to local communities and updating the vehicle procurement process.
During the meeting, it was highlighted that the administrative costs for managing the ARPA funds in Plymouth County amounted to just $752,357, or less than 1% of the total sum distributed. This efficiency is lower than the typical range of 5% to 7% seen in other governmental entities. The county’s approach aims to maximize the funds available for community support, which was praised throughout the meeting. The funds were allocated to various towns, including Abington, Brockton, and East Bridgewater, with amounts ranging from $1,357 to over $338,000.
In addition to the ARPA fund distribution, the commissioners approved several updates to the county’s vehicle procurement process. This included the approval of additional vehicles from Colonial Chevrolet and adjustments to accessory pricing for the 2025 model year vehicles. These measures are part of the county’s ongoing effort to maintain an efficient fleet for municipal use.
