Two Years of Closeout: Strategies to Navigate the End of ARPA Fiscal Recovery Fund State and Local Government Grants

February 4, 2025

State and local governments have 2025 and 2026 to closeout their ARPA Fiscal Recovery Fund grants.  This will not be a typical closeout process under Federal Grant Rules.  States and local government will have some flexibility to modify their SLFRF-funded contracts and subawards, special rules to reobligate funds and two years to liquidate ARPA Fiscal Recovery Fund projects.  Feldesman Attorney Phillip Escoriaza discusses the special SLFRF closeout framework, addresses implementation challenges and shares compliance insights and best practices in the program’s final phase and closeout, including relevant program and Uniform Guidance changes.

The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar.
