Saline County seeks applications for its remaining Coronavirus Relief Funds (CRF).
The county has now disbursed $4.7 million of the $11 million in CRF funds it was awarded. Progress on Saline County’s spending plan can be monitored on the county's CRF website at https://www.saline.org/Coronavirus/CRF-Funding.
County staff and the county's CRF Advisory Committee continue to monitor needs in the community and prepare to respond to unmet needs with any funds that remain available. At this time, the advisory committee is seeking supplemental applications to keep any unspent funds within the county. An application is available at https://www.saline.org/Coronavirus/CRF-Funding.
Applications are due Nov. 18 at 5 p.m.
Per CARES Act terms, all funds must be spent by Dec. 30, 2020, on an eligible activity; reimbursement of lost revenue to local governments is not eligible for funding.
It is not known at this time how much funding will be available, the county noted in a news release. The county continues to work closely with government, educational, non-profit, and business institutions around the community that were awarded funds as part of the local plan, the release noted.
