Mike Matson says Davenport has less than three years to spend the $41 million it'll receive from the American Rescue Plan Act.
And he's eager to hear how people would like the city to spend the money.
The mayor says the city did not lose money over the past year even while providing rent and mortgage assistance to people who lost their jobs.
Its small business resilience program also provided COVID relief to local companies.
