Wabash County officials are working hard attempting to secure the county’s share of funding through the federal government’s American Rescue Plan. County Commissioner Tim Hocking reported at Monday’s county board meeting that he has been working with treasurer Beverly McBride trying to satisfy the requirements for the county to receive the funding…
Hocking said the money will have to be spent to reimburse the county for COVID-related expenses such as incurred by the health department. He also said the money might be able to reimburse revenue the county lost out on due to decrease court fines and fees. Once the money is received, the county will have until 2024 to spend it.
