Ridgefield residents have voted to allocate $344,480 from the town’s share of American Rescue Plan Act fund to cover the recent purchase of more than 17,000 at home COVID test kits.  The approval was given at a town meeting Wednesday.  Ridgefield does have some of the kits remaining for distribution.  An informal group is working to determine how to use the remaining ARPA funds, based on guidance from the U-S Treasury Department.  Any expenditure would have to be approved via public hearing, town meeting or a referendum.
