The city of Peoria is about to see some financial relief come its way to address the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The state of Arizona has received $441 million in direct, flexible funding to be disbursed to cities, towns and counties that did not receive direct federal funding thanks to the Federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act.
Of that, Peoria is due $20.2 million, which will be paid back to the city in reimbursements.
