According to the digital edition of the Fall River Herald, Bristol County is joining three other counties; Norfolk, Barnstable and Plymouth County, to create an online portal for cities and towns to submit applications for the combined $389 million in Federal Stimulus funds from the American Rescue Plan Act, also known as ARPA.

The counties could be saving up to $100,000 each by agreeing to use the same framework, attorneys and accountants as Plymouth County. Bristol County is in line for $110,000, according to estimates from the National Association of Counties.

There are 16 towns and four cities in Bristol County and allocations will be determined on a per capita basis.
