Green River Business Alliance secures $5,000 support from county board
Summary
After a presentation on local outreach and training, the board approved $5,000 to support Green River programming; members agreed funds will be routed through the Emery County Business Chamber for fiscal administration.
Dorothy Carter, representing the Green River Business Alliance, described a suite of local activities aimed at small businesses and residents — regular business alliance meetings (about 20–35 attendees), a health fair (about 50 attendees), a planned kids' entrepreneurship program on July 8, and senior activities delivered with partners. "I would deeply appreciate your support in this," Carter told the board, outlining needs for promotional items and a reliable sound system for meetings.
Board members debated whether Green River's alliance duplicated the Emery County Business Chamber's work and whether administration of funds should remain under the Chamber's umbrella. Patsy Stoddard and others said the Chamber already serves as fiscal agent for many county programs; after discussion Lauren Huntsman moved to fund the Green River activities through the Emery County Business Chamber, Brock Johansson seconded, and the board approved a $5,000 allocation. Chair Nicole Steele summarized the outcome: "So $5,000 funded through the Emery County Chamber of the Emmy Business Chamber, however." The board asked Dorothy and Patsy to coordinate a short proposal and budget for how the money would be used.
