Dorchester County agrees to join Communities of Hope partnership for FY25 ENOUGH grant
Summary
At its Sept. 17 meeting, the Council agreed to provide a letter of commitment to be a core partner in Moving Dorchester Forward's FY25 ENOUGH grant application to the Governor's Office for Children and received a presentation on the county library's summer reading program.
The Dorchester County Council on Sept. 17 agreed to enter into a Communities of Hope: Dorchester Partnership and provided a letter of commitment to be a core member of Moving Dorchester Forward, Inc.'s FY25 Engaging Neighborhoods, Organizations, Unions, Governments, & Households (ENOUGH) grant application to the Governor's Office for Children. The request was made by Nancy Shockley, Local Management Board Coordinator for Moving Dorchester Forward.
Council approval was recorded on the consent agenda. The partnership means the county will be listed as a core collaborator in the grant application and participate in leadership‑team work if the grant is awarded; specific budgetary commitments, deliverables, or matching funds were not specified in the minutes.
During the same meeting, representatives of the Dorchester County Public Library — Crystal Henningsen (Director), Julie Kennedy (Assistant Director/Head of Youth Services), Lanett Bagley (Hurlock Branch Manager) and Hannah Smutny (Hurlock Youth Services) — presented highlights from the Library's Summer Reading Program. The presentation noted program successes but did not request county funding or actions recorded in these minutes.
