Hucker, Van Hollen Discuss How American Rescue Plan Will Benefit Residents

U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen joined Montgomery County Council President Tom Hucker during a virtual media briefing on Monday to discuss the American Rescue Plan Act. The legislation provides additional relief to address the continued impact of COVID-19.

Van Hollen says the American Rescue Plan focuses on various goals, including beating the pandemic and providing financial help to those who have been hit the hardest amid the health crisis.

“With the assistance that came first with the Cares Act last year and then with the American Rescue Plan that recently passed- what a difference that has made in our budget and our ability to deliver critical services to residents of Montgomery County,” said County Council President Tom Hucker during the briefing.
