A new podcast is shining a light on how federal relief money is making a difference in Athens. Athens-Clarke County’s ARPA in Athens Highlight Series gives residents a closer look at how millions of dollars in pandemic recovery funds are being used to support local families, businesses, and neighborhoods. WUGA’s Pride Haggerty has more.
Plus, for its fourth episode, the ARPA in Athens Highlight Series producer Cameron McGlothen sat down with Sterling Gardner, Interim President and CEO of the Boys and Girls Club of Athens, and Tyrique Dunn, the Director of the organization’s Delinquency Prevention Initiative, to discuss the impact of ARPA funds. We include an excerpt from the podcast’s fourth episode.
