MENTONE COVID-19 ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN
The awarded grant of $50,000 will fund a COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan to revitalize Mentone’s local economy and enhance community well-being. This grant and the associated study will benefit the households of Mentone. A 10% matching amount of $5,000 from the Town of Mentone will be supplied for the project. Approximately 56.48% of the grant funds, or $28,240, will be used to benefit low-to-moderate income individuals.
To select the firm for the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan, Mentone used a Qualification Based Selection process. The procurement process is complete, and the town is negotiating details with the selected firm.
An additional public hearing will be held at the conclusion of the Mentone COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan’s planning process, providing another opportunity for public input.
