Covid unfortunately ravaged our City as well as businesses and non-profits that were operating during the pandemic. Fortunately, the City of Richmond received ARPA funding to facilitate economic relief and economic recovery. To ensure economic recovery, we must address the staffing shortages in OUR City which adversely impacts morale, productivity, economic growth, & the quality of services the people and businesses of Richmond receive.
We the people want OUR City to: 1) host a Hiring Fair for all the open positions in the City, 2) allocate $6M of ARPA to cover two years of burden costs for new hires, and 3) allocate the remainder of ARPA to fund small business/non-profit relief. We deserve great governance, & our organizations need relief. How can the City recover or thrive without a well-functioning City. #StaffOurCityARPA #ARPAforSmallBusinesses #ARPAforNonProfits #Now Wesley Alexander
