Danville Director of Community Development Logan Cronk says a public hearing will be scheduled, perhaps within the next 30 days, on how the city should spend $150,000 in additional relief money designed to help low income households or individuals affected by COVID. This is separate from the city’s ARPA funds already voted on. Cronk says only 22 municipalities in the nation received this extra money. And one thing that helps is not being known as a community that receives this type of federal funding, but does not use it. Cronk says Danville will definitely use it.
AUDIO: So this will be round three of the, we call them “C-V Dollars” to respond to Corona Virus. And the $150,000 is essentially going to be used to for the response; maybe that’s economic development, maybe that’s rent, we don’t know yet. But we’ll use the $150,000 to support low income individuals or families. It’s going to be an application process.
Danville would be required to have the money allocated by this coming September.
PUBLIC HEARING NOW SET FOR 10 AM, June 28th; Public Works Building https://vermilioncountyfirst.com/2022/06/20/public-hearing-on-danville-covid-funding-for-low-income-individuals-families-10-am-june-28th-public-works-bldg/
