(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission has approved nearly $725,000 in grant awards to 50 applicants for COVID-19 related expenses and business development costs.
The Commission took the action Tuesday on the recommendation of the county's SPARK grant committee.
The largest grant awards went to Benedictine College, Maur Hill-Mount Academy and Blish-Mize Company. Each received $50,000, which was the maximum grant available.
More than 65 applications were received from businesses and non-profit organizations in the county seeking a total of more $1.9 million.
Funding for the grant program came from the Kansas SPARK Task Force through the federal CARES Act.
