Griggs County officials are set to utilize leftover COVID-19 relief funds to enhance local services, following a recent commission meeting on September 22, 2025. The commission confirmed that approximately $100,000 in unallocated COVID funds remains available for use, with no expiration date or restrictions on how the money can be spent.

During the meeting, it was noted that previous allocations from these funds have been successfully completed, including a new security system and IT upgrades. The commission expressed confidence in using the remaining funds to address additional community needs, emphasizing the importance of transparency in reporting how the funds are utilized.

The flexibility of the COVID funds allows the county to strategically invest in necessary services without the pressure of immediate deadlines. This decision reflects a proactive approach to managing resources and ensuring that the community continues to benefit from federal assistance.

As the commission moves forward with these plans, they aim to keep the public informed about the specific projects funded by the COVID relief money, reinforcing their commitment to responsible governance and community support.
