Commissioners approve ARPA grant funding

The Hays County Commissioners Court approved funding for three Hays County organizations through the American Rescue Plan Act.

Commissioners approved funding for the Greater San Marcos Youth Council, Inc., Dripping Springs Community Missions Partnership Inc. and Wimberley 4-H Buyers Pool, Inc. during Tuesday’s regular meeting.

The commissioners were set to authorize $136,000 in ARPA funding for GSMYC but Commissioner Lon Shell suggested increasing the overall allocation.
