City launches portal to track $335 million in American Rescue Plan funds

PITTSBURGH — The city of Pittsburgh was awarded $335 million in Covid-19 relief funds as part of the American Rescue Plan.

Now, thanks to the city controller’s office, the public will be able to keep tabs on how the money is spent.

Controller Michael Lamb’s office has launched a web site that will serve as a public portal to track expenditures of the money.

“It was Congress’ intent that all municipalities receiving these funds commit to transparency in how they are spent,” Lamb said in a statement. “This page ensures that our residents know exactly when and how the city is allocating them.”
