Council approves $90,000 in riverboat/nonprofit distributions for 2026
Summary
The council approved a $90,000 allocation to local nonprofits including Boys & Girls Club, Lifetime Resources, 4‑H and others; funds will be distributed after August collections and as appropriations allow.
The Jefferson County council moved to approve riverboat (wagering) fund distributions for local nonprofits totaling $90,000 for 2026.
Speaker 12 moved to allocate the amounts recommended by council and commissioners: Girls Incorporated $11,000; Boys & Girls Club $20,000; 4‑H $20,000; Lifetime Resources $20,000; veterans transportation $5,000; CASA $8,000; Children’s Advocacy Center $3,000; Safe Passages $3,000. A voice vote approved the motion.
Officials said funds will be distributed once they become available (after August collections) and that any leftover balance would roll into the next year’s allocations if unspent. Staff will publish the approved list so nonprofits can plan for 2026.
