The Marshall County Commissioners were alerted of a potential grant opportunity when they met last Monday. Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery asked the commissioners for permission to apply for a grant opportunity being offered through the Department of Homeland Security.
He explained, “They’re starting to accept applications for the Emergency Management Performance Grant that reimburses the County for up to 50 percent of the EMA Director’s salary and benefits for the year.”
Director Avery noted that they are eligible as long as the County reaches all of the goals set out for the year. The commissioners collectively voted in favor of pursuing the grant opportunity.
