Pueblo County to receive an additional $5.8 million in federal funds to aid businesses struggling during COVID-19 pandemic
PUEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) County officials enter the holidays with a nice problem to have; distributing millions of dollars in economic relief money to local businesses or risk losing any money unspent by Dec. 31. We still have around $200,000 to spend from our previous allocation, said Pueblo County Commissioner Garrison Ortiz.
Ortiz announced Monday that the county will receive $5.8 million in funding from the federal CARES Act directed to COVID-19 pandemic recovery. (It) comes from a $40 million reserve account that the state withheld, he said. We applied for $6 million and were pleasantly surprised to receive $5.8 million of our request.
