Resident asks about county shredder repairs; officials say grant requests are under review
Summary
A resident asked the Grant County Fiscal Court for an update on repairs to the county’s shredder; county officials said letters requesting assistance have been sent and that they have received encouraging responses, including a message from the governor’s office advising review by the Energy and Environment Cabinet.
During the citizen address portion of the Aug. 19, 2025 Grant County Fiscal Court meeting, a reporter for Grant County News asked for an update on county efforts to find funding to repair a damaged county shredder.
The reporter, identified in the meeting as Debbie of Grant County News, said she had previously asked for information and wanted to know whether grant requests had received responses. County officials said they had submitted letters seeking assistance to several organizations and were receiving positive responses but had not yet received funds.
Judge Executive Chuck Dills told the court he had received a text message that afternoon from a senior adviser to the governor, Rocky Atkins, saying he was “checking with the Energy and Environment Cabinet to see if they have any avenues to address your request.” Dills said local boards and organizations have been contacted or asked to consider assisting and that any confirmed funding would be announced and the contributors recognized.
Why it matters: repairs to county equipment such as a shredder can affect operations for records disposal and other county services; potential state or local grant support would reduce the county’s need to reallocate local funds.
Ending: County officials said they will announce any confirmed funding and thanked community members and organizations that have discussed possible assistance.
