WARREN Trumbull County has spent about 73 percent of the emergency pandemic funding it received through the federal CARES Act.
The county was awarded about $10.5 million and through Feb. 5 has spent $7.698 million, leaving about $2.8 million in reserve, according to documents provided by the Trumbull County commissioners’ and auditor’s offices.
After two of three commissioners committed Thursday to use some funds to build a structure for vaccine distribution, it appears about $8.098 million of the money has been spent or dedicated, leaving approximately $2.4 million. The building is expected to cost $400,000 or less.
While original guidelines initially required communities to use CARES Act funding before the end of 2020, an extension was granted by the federal government to allow the funds to be used until the end of 2021.
