Veteran Community Initiatives members and supporters usually gather every December for a celebratory breakfast to honor individuals who put in tireless efforts to assist veterans throughout the past year.
Plans, of course, changed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The breakfast, originally scheduled for Dec. 8, was canceled, as was an informal get-together that was to take place this week.
Recipients of VCIâs annual awards were instead personally notified with no fanfare for now.
Penn Highlands Community College $1,030.
While the designated amounts add up to $2.24 million, exceeding the $2.23 million allocation by $8,402, the difference may be covered with money from other CARES grant categories if it becomes available to transfer, County Administrator Nicole Hemminger said. The county is funding up to the amounts listed on the meeting agenda, she said.
Commissioners also acknowledged that applicants in this category were subject to a cap of $1.5 million toward reimbursement of their COVID-19 planning and response expenses. That cap was applied to AMED, which requested more than $1.5 million for reimbursement of COVID-19 response and planning expenses.
Expenses qualifying for reimbursement include personal protective equipment, technology upgrades and workspace partitions, Hemminger said in naming examples acceptable to the state Department of Community and Economic Development.
