The DeWitt County Board is going to sit down this month and finally hash out plans for roughly three million dollars of COVID money.

The American Recovery Plan Act, or ARPA, funds have been a large focal point in recent months as the County committed to offering a portion of the money up to the community but Board members have contended over the last several months they would like to have a plan in place before checks start getting written. 

Board Chair Terry Ferguson earlier this month announced they will hash it all out in August.

County Administrator DeeDee Rentmeister says once funding has been designated, they will need to consider documentation for the outside firm they have hired to help with distributing the money.
