Ohio County court approves resolution to pursue Boys & Girls Club grant tied to House Bill 900

The Ohio County Fiscal Court approved Resolution 2027-4 to permit the county to apply for grant funding allocated through House Bill 900 that the chair described as "up to $500,000." Representatives from the Boys & Girls Club were invited forward for a photo after the vote.

The judge explained that the county must pass the resolution to participate in the application process and that the funds were specifically tied to the state measure referenced in the discussion. A motion was made and seconded, and the court approved the resolution by voice vote. One magistrate asked whether other local clubs would be eligible; the chair said the appropriation named a specific recipient in the county and that this action applies only to Ohio County.

The resolution was presented as a county step necessary to secure grant funding; county staff will follow up on the application steps and next procedural requirements.
