Christian County magistrates approved a resolution Tuesday morning to apply for utility assistance announced by Governor Andy Beshear a few weeks ago.
Pennyrile Area Development District Associate Director Amy Frogue said the resolution approves a submission for the CDBG-COVID Utility Assistance Program.
Frogue added they hope the money would be distributed through Pennyrile Allied Community Services.
The resolution was approved unanimously by magistrates, and if the first round of funding is depleted, the county may be able to get another round of $200,000.
Magistrates also approved the appointment of Matthew Baker to the Hopkinsville-Christian County Airport Board. Baker will take over the seat for Tony Jones, who asked to leave the board at the beginning of the month. Kenneth Bates was also re-appointed to the board after a one-year term. Both will serve on the board through December 31, 2024.
The next Christian County Fiscal Court meeting will be Tuesday morning, February 23, at 8:30.
