Newton County responds to non-profit requests for COVID relief funds

COVINGTON — After doling out more than $1 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding to three local non-profits May 3, Newton County commissioners agreed they need to set up an application process for similar organizations that come seeking funding.

The county’s committee that oversees allocation of ARPA funds will set up the application process for non-profit organizations. Once approved by the committee, the requests will be presented to the full Board of Commissioners for a decision. The committee is made up of District 1 Commissioner Stan Edwards, District 3 Commissioner Alana Sanders, County Attorney Patrick Jaugstetter and Interim County Manager Jarvis Sims.
