Summary
The board approved annual grants to four community centers and several nonprofits, including $10,000 to Laurel Ford Community Center and $5,000 to God's Storehouse, after a motion and recorded votes.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors voted to approve its annual grants to community centers and to several nonprofits, a motion the board said it routinely considers each year.
Supervisor Early moved to approve the community center grants with amounts listed for each center: Laurel Ford Community Center, $10,000; Webb Southern Carroll Community Center, $7,800; Lambsburg Community Center, $5,000; and Duxburg Community Center, $8,000. The board approved the motion in a roll-call vote with supervisors recorded as voting yes.
The board also approved grants to nonprofit applicants. Approved awards listed by the mover included: Friends of New Hope Primitive Baptist Church (through the genealogy club) $3,500; Genealogy Club $2,000; God's Storehouse $5,000; Carroll County Heritage Digitizing Organization $3,200; Carroll County Historical Society $1,000; Brain Injury Solutions $1,500; and Grace Grit and Gratitude Inc. $3,000. A supervisor acknowledged the numbers and seconded the motion; the board voted to approve the nonprofit grants.
Supervisor Early noted the board was a little behind in processing annual awards this year and said the grants are part of the county's recurring operations.
What happens next: County staff will process the award payments and notify recipients; the board recorded the approvals on the meeting minutes.
