OMAHA- Nebraska State Sen. Justin Wayne has announced the public hearing schedule for his committee's exploration of the American Rescue Plan Act fund uses.

Senator Wayne's committee met earlier this month with Omaha consultant Olsson to discuss the best potential uses for the money.

A portion of the funds were allocated to specific projects, but a majority of the funds go toward the Qualified Census Tract Recovery Grant Program — also overseen by the Economic Recovery Special Committee of the Legislature.

The week of Sept. 19, this committee is holding joint hearings and public information sessions with Olsson, Inc. to explore uses for the funds in north and south Omaha.

Members of the public can testify at these hearings, and learn how to formally submit ideas for possible uses of the Economic Recovery Act funds.
