In a recent meeting held on March 11, 2025, the Daggett County Municipal Building Authority discussed significant funding developments for their health and social services building project. The atmosphere was one of collaboration and gratitude as members acknowledged the financial support from Northeastern Counseling, which has been instrumental in advancing the project.
Kyle Snow, a representative from Northeastern Counseling, played a pivotal role by securing a grant of $300,000 aimed at furnishing the new facility. This funding is particularly crucial given the current cash flow challenges faced by the authority. In a commendable gesture, Snow agreed to front the $300,000 to facilitate immediate purchases, with plans for reimbursement later. This proactive approach not only alleviates financial pressure but also underscores the strong partnership between the authority and Northeastern Counseling.
