Rich Civic Times
The Rich County Economic Development Advisory Board Resolution passed. It creates a board made up of at least five members which include; a County representative, a representative from a city, a workforce development person, someone from the department of workforce services, a private sector person from a city or a person who lives in the county.
The Board will assist in applying for grants and advising funding for economic development projects.
Last month it was announced that every county in Utah would get at an ongoing grant of $200,000 and a chance at grants from a $600,000 grant. However, due to the financial hardship of COVID 19 the $600,000 was eliminated. The $200,000 was cut to $98,500 by the legislature. The base legislation did not change, so if things go back to normal this is just a one time reduction.
The Legislature is looking for cuts because it will be tight this year. The CED board will be governed by the bylaws. The Commissioners will get appointments made to the Board. Mitch Poulson, Bear River Regional Commission, will be in charge of minutes and meetings.
