A commissioner introduced the resolution and thanked Anthony Clemens, who was present in the meeting to support the request. Commissioners approved the pledge by voice vote.
The resolution is a local match pledge to support the BDC's grant application to the state development office; the commission did not detail how the pledged funds will be drawn from county accounts or the grant's total request amount during the public meeting.
The approval was recorded as a motion and a unanimous \"aye\" vote. The commission did not attach conditions or an implementation timeline at the meeting; staff will record the pledge in county financial planning as part of the grant application process.","The Hancock County Commission on July 10 approved a resolution pledging $39,675 in local funds to support a grant application by the Business Development Corporation of the Northern Panhandle to the West Virginia development office.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6174257,"Senator Ryan Weld presents $30,000 legislative funds to Hancock County ambulance service; other checks to be mailed",110,158340,268790,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5371119-88a7b8205a1fb613bbdb64fa83878373&start=158&end=268","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5371119-88a7b8205a1fb613bbdb64fa83878373/thumbnail_158340.jpg","/articles/6174257/Hancock-County/West-Virginia/Senator-Ryan-Weld-presents-30000-legislative-funds-to-Hancock-County-ambulance-service-other-checks-to-be-mailed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6174257-7b549a7e3816aecd849c21333a0899b4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146575&Signature=CRaSripP~oZT6irrlURncmwWhBSg3-lk9cGAomoL8LUjy9M0vMYjdlgas~hBw49O31tLDDOrLwcPzzMvsgOyx5oxNuV8IUl5~6vgfTFGwYfTDoPSaQ6aIRcEnR4nqNX2Dsg9bDHdJ0PLKVKMg7GUhsI690qf74dSP2u4Qh5oGplZ3QpZS2MjaKN1OjLQ5N1LGMAV~70RBfuv3I03slOutunASKOEoZ0ylSQaJiVo0m4KqSqqdu-XrtpxwvfCol-NymNFUfrpXFudFZ09umnv9MhY3Y6Vs5sgC8dAy-B1BsYVYeyH1Uhq~c7LYwwy05CY73ug6j1nWxv1Vl~eZlZUHA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","State Sen. Ryan Weld, R, visited the Hancock County Commission on July 10 to present legislative economic development assistance funding and to explain the distribution process for the grants.
Weld told commissioners the funds begin with legislative approvals, move to the governor’s office and then are distributed by check; he presented one check at the meeting and said other awards would be mailed by the county. \"It is my pleasure to help be able to help, and present him today with a check for $30,000,\" Weld said as he handed the check to Joe Polgar for the county ambulance service.
Weld said the $30,000 will support the Hancock County Ambulance Service’s ongoing vehicle purchases and related needs. He also referenced support intended for local veterans’ organizations and the deputy sheriff's association; those checks, he said, will be mailed to recipients. Weld noted that canine programs involve significant training and equipment costs and that funding can help offset those expenses.
Commissioners accepted the presentation and authorized dispersal of the legislative economic development funds by voice vote. The meeting record shows a unanimous \"aye\" on the motion to accept and disperse the funds.
The commission did not vote on detailed spending plans for the mailed checks during the meeting; Weld asked residents to contact his office to begin future applications for similar projects.

The commission approved the application by voice vote.
The VOCA formula grant is administered at the federal level and distributed through state networks; the commissioners did not set a dollar amount during the discussion. The recorded action at the meeting was a motion to approve the application and a unanimous “aye” vote.
Discussion at the meeting centered on the program request and the coordinator’s referral; no additional conditions, funding splits, or implementation details were provided during the public meeting.
The commission did not specify next steps beyond approving the application; staff will proceed with submitting the county’s application as required by the VOCA program process.","The Hancock County Commission on July 10 approved an application for the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) formula grant program after commissioners were told the program connected 214 victims to services last year.","actionData","errors"]
