County approves plan to spend COVID-19 relief funds
(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has approved plans to spend more than $2 million in COVID-19 relief funds the county recently received from the state's SPARK Task force.
The action came during a special meeting Thursday.
Nemaha County has a total of nearly $164,000 in reimbursements for COVID related expenses, which leaves more than $1.9 million for direct aid to pay for other items and programs that would assist with protecting the health, safety and welfare of the county's residents.
Commissioners approved the documents to be submitted to the state projecting how the county plans to spend the CARES Act funding, and how the money will be split up among the county as well as businesses, schools, and cities in the county.
If approved by the state, the county will have until December 31 to spend the grant funds.
