Chamber director says ADO grant writer helped prepare about $18.7M in application requests
Summary
During public comment on June 23, 2025, Amy McGuffin, executive director of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber's ADO grant writer—ending a two‑year engagement—worked on more than $18.7 million in grant application requests and reviewed community projects seeking funding.
Amy McGuffin, executive director of the Kittitas County Chamber of Commerce, told the Kittitas County Board of Commissioners on June 23, 2025 that the Chamber is concluding a two‑year engagement with its ADO grant writer, who "has worked on over $18.7 million of application requests" for various municipalities.
McGuffin made the remarks during the meeting's public comment period and said she reviewed the community projects that have sought funding with the grant writer's assistance. The minutes do not list the individual projects, award outcomes, or whether the applications resulted in funded awards; they record only the value of applications prepared and that the grant writer's engagement is ending after two years.
The statement to commissioners characterizes the $18.7 million as the total of application requests prepared, not as grant awards or secured funding. The Chamber's comment was informational; the minutes do not record any formal county action or request for follow‑up related to the Chamber's report.
