Freedom's Frontier redirects Carnegie Building rent savings into local grants
Summary
Freedom's Frontier told commissioners it left the Carnegie Building, cut annual rent costs from about $15,000 to roughly $1,200 and channeled the savings into a local grant program that awarded about $18,000 back into the county this fiscal year.
A representative for Freedom's Frontier told commissioners the organization moved office space out of the Carnegie Building and substantially reduced rent expenses, redirecting the saved funds into a local grant program.
"We were paying $15,000 a year for the Carnegie Building, and we are currently paying quarterly ... So about $1,200 a year," the Freedom's Frontier representative said, describing a large reduction in occupancy costs. The representative added that the organization used the savings to expand its grant program and reported awarding approximately $18,000 in grants back into the county during the current fiscal year.
A commissioner thanked the organization for channeling those savings to local grantees. No formal requests or votes were associated with this update; the statement was presented as informational during the budget hearing.
