ARPA Economic Development Funding Allocation Workshop

The City looks to better understand local business conditions and develop programs that invest in business success. Tracy Economic Development Division is working on allocating $4 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to programs to stimulate local economic recovery.

We invite you to the ARPA allocation visioning workshop scheduled for December 16, 2021 8am and 6pm and look forward to your input towards this important decision. We encourage members of the Tracy business community and other stakeholders (e.g. residents) to join us.
