The county last month reached a point where they could award no more applications because the ones they had to consider would have dropped them below that 51% mark.
But as more came in, Matt Sward with the Loogootee-based Southern Indiana Development Commission reviewed them, did the math, and gave the commissioners the green light to award three more applications totaling $15,000.
âAnd Iâm going to get those out today,â said commission president Kellie Streeter. âWeâll spread a bit of cheer.â
The county has so far awarded 29 businesses money from its first OCRA grant award. They have left about $105,000 to give away. The county is still taking applications from businesses interested in the mini-grant program.
