Council approves grant-match commitments for Main Street programs, limits matches to awarded amounts

The Onancock Town Council voted to commit matching funds for two grant applications submitted by Onancock Main Street (OMS). Council approved a motion to match up to $20,000 for the VTC marketing leveraging grant (a 1:1 match) and a separate motion to match up to $25,000 for a Virginia Main Street downtown investment grant (a 2:1 match). Council members emphasized that the town's commitment is to match the awarded amount only — that is, the town will not pay more than the grant requires.
