Commission approves museum's pass-through for state mural grant
Summary
The commission agreed to serve as a pass-through for a West Virginia Department of Tourism mural grant requested by the Clarksburg History Museum and approved using county grant‑reporting procedures to reimburse project costs.
Marcia Villanco and museum representatives asked the Harrison County Commission to act as a pass-through for a West Virginia Department of Tourism mural grant intended for an America 250 mural project. The county would receive reimbursement funds and then remit them to the museum upon receipt of eligible receipts.
Commissioners discussed reporting and reimbursement mechanics, confirming that the county would process receipts and make reimbursements as part of the county's grant administration procedures. Staff noted the state program's sparse initial guidance; museum representatives said the artist, concept, and cost details would still require state approval. The commission approved the pass-through arrangement and authorized coordination with the county grant writer to maintain an audit trail.
What this means: The county will administer the paperwork and reimburse the museum for eligible mural project costs pending state approval and receipt documentation; no county appropriation was requested for the project itself.
