At the weekly work session, Commissioner Dan Camp announced that Beaver County, the Board of Commissioners, and the accounting firms sanctioned by the County will begin to work on the first phase of distributing the $14.8 million CARES Act funding granted due to the national (and statewide) COVID-19 outbreak.

“The first phase of the funding will be [for] municipalities and non-governmental grants,” Camp said. “Non-governmental grants include small businesses, non-profits that are 501c3 & 501c19.”

Camp noted that the application period for Phase 1 funding will be from August 10 through August 24, and that applications can be taken care of online.

Commissioner Tony Amadio and Assistant Solicitor Nathan Morgan were not present at the work session, either in person or via phone. No comments were made on their absence.

The next work session is August 12 at 10 AM.
