HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioners will consider a request for the last bit of CDBG-CV grant funds that are still available.
Reno County was notified in May 2020 that the Kansas Department of Commerce was opening the application process for cities and counties to apply for CDBG-CV funding to pass on to qualifying small businesses. The Kansas Department of Commerce awarded $132,000 to Reno County to award $120,000 to small businesses who qualify and pay $12,000 to the grant administrator. The county handed out more than $108,000 to seven businesses, leaving about $11,000 in the pot.
Now an applicant has come forward asking for those remaining funds. Special K9 Dog training is one of two businesses that applied for the funding. However, the other business did not qualify since it is within the city limits of Hutchinson. If approved, the dog training business would get $11,064.
The matter comes up for action during Tuesday’s County Commission meeting at 9 a.m. at the Reno County Courthouse.
