HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson City Council approved grant applications for the workforce development portion of the city's ARPA allocations, a total of $394,000.
"On Nov. 7, we posted the notice of funding availability on our website," said City Finance Director Angela Richard. "On Dec. 7 and Dec. 18, we held grant workshops to go over the application process with those who were interested. Then, the grant submissions were due Dec. 30."
Seven well-qualified potential grantees submitted applications and the city agreed to fund five of those projects.
Those five projects all received the total amount they requested.
This leaves a little money left over from that original allocation.
"That's going to leave about $25,000 left over, which we could roll over into the small business assistance or another program, as you desire," Richard said.
The allocation of funds was approved unanimously Tuesday.
