RELEASE: Gottheimer Claws Back COVID-19 Relief to Fifth District Counties & Municipalities — Releases Town-by-Town Breakdown
GLEN ROCK, NJ,
March 11, 2021
Releases Town-by-Town Breakdown Tax Cuts for Families Relief for Small Businesses & Restaurants Benefits every Fifth District county & town government Covers COVID-19 vaccines, expenditures, lost revenue from COVID-19 Direct checks to families Lowers health care premiums for NJ families Significant infrastructure investments GLEN ROCK, NJ — Today, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) released a county-by-county and town-by-town breakdown of the direct federal assistance allocated to every local government in New Jersey’s Fifth District from the new COVID-19 relief package. Gottheimer helped pass the new relief bill out of the House earlier this week, which has now being signed into law. It includes direct checks to Fifth District Families, lowers health care premiums to help families, provides relief to restaurants and small businesses, includes resources to help feed children, rebuilds infrastructure and our airports, helps schools reopen safely, and provides investment to expand vaccine distribution in New Jersey and nationwide. The county and town governments that make up the Fifth District will receive an estimated total $476 million from the new relief package. “Our local communities have been on the frontlines of the fight against COVID-19 for more than a year now. Throughout this entire crisis, I’ve been fighting to claw federal resources back to every county and community to help hard-hit North Jersey. This new federal investment will help cut taxes and lower health care costs for our families, expand local vaccination sites, keep our teachers, firefighters, EMS, and law enforcement on the job, support our small businesses and communities, improve our broadband and water infrastructure, and help get our local economies going,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5). “From Paramus to Newton, from Bergen County to Warren County, and every Fifth District community in between, this direct federal investment will be the boost North Jersey needs to help get us over the finish line of this crisis.” In total, the new COVID-19 relief package provides $350 billion to help states, counties, cities and tribal governments cover increased expenditures, replenish lost revenue, and mitigate economic harm from the COVID-19 pandemic. Gottheimer successfully led a bipartisan initiative to dedicate a portion of the state and local government relief to help address broadband connectivity in rural areas, like in Sussex and Warren Counties. Now, the package includes a $10 billion investment (within the total $350 billion of state and local relief) to help states and localities invest in improving broadband and water infrastructure, including addressing lead in drinking water. The State of New Jersey government will receive approximately $6.434 billion in relief, as well as an additional $190 million to expand broadband internet across the state and to support infrastructure improvements. When State and Local Governments Will Receive the Federal Relief: State and local government recipients may use the funds to cover costs incurred by December 31, 2024. The funds will be distributed in two tranches: [1] 50% delivered no later than 60 days from the date of enactment, and [2] the remainder delivered no earlier than one year later.
