Court approves small grants to CASA and cemetery restoration
Summary
Spencer County Fiscal Court approved $1,000 for CASA (legal services for 33 children) and $1,000 for cemetery restoration (Willow Mountain/Little Mount Colored Cemetery); the court noted matching in-kind donations for the cemetery work.
The court approved two community requests: $1,000 to CASA to support legal representation for 33 children in Spencer County and $1,000 from the cemetery-restoration line for Willow Mountain (Little Mount Colored Cemetery).
A CASA representative described the organization's work and requested $1,000; the judge said the court had lines in the budget to accommodate the request and a motion to approve $1,000 carried. Later, the court approved a $1,000 allocation for cemetery restoration and noted it would be matched with in-kind donations and volunteer labor. "I think this is really something good that I'm proud of that we have done this," the presiding official said when discussing cemetery maintenance.
Why it matters: both actions provide modest local support for legal services to children and for preserving historic burial sites. The decisions used existing budget lines and did not require new appropriations.
