With more than $670 million in federal funding going directly to West Virginia’s cities and counties from the American Rescue Plan, the plans on how to spend it were part of the discussions at the West Virginia Association of Counties annual meetings. The gathering of county leaders from clerks to sheriffs and commissioners began Sunday and runs through Tuesday at the Charleston Embassy Suites. Mercer County Commissioner Greg Puckett, who is also on the board of directors for the National Association of Counties, said on Monday his national organization fought for more funding to come to the local levels. $65.1 billion is provided in direct aid to counties in the American Rescue Plan and an additional $1.5 billion for public land counties.
