The Hendersonville City Council is urging the public to use an online survey to suggest how the city should spend $4.5 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act money.

The City Council’s vision is to use ARP dollars to fund transformative projects that address difficult community needs, the city said in a news release. Before selecting specific projects to fund, council members want to hear from the community to help determine priorities.

Community members who are unable to complete the online survey are encouraged to attend if they need assistance providing feedback.
