At the recent Hays County Commissioners Court meeting, commissioners received brief presentations regarding funding allocation from the American Rescue Plan Act and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund.
At the meeting held Feb. 28, the programs and institutions that will possibly receive ARPA funding are the Southside Community Center, The KZSM, San Marcos Community Radio Association, the Lone Star Cattlemen Foundation, the Hays County Livestock Exposition, the Wimberley Village Library Foundation and the Hays County Office of Emergency Services First-Net.
The Hays County Local Health Department Mobile Vaccine Facility and multiple Hays County independent school districts were approved to receive ARPA funding. The American Rescue Plan Act, according to the White House ARPA Fact Sheet, provides emergency grants, lending, and investment to hard-hit small businesses so they can access recovery assistance for direct or indirect impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
