www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County officials are looking at how to spend a total of about $188.2 million in stimulus funds that are coming from various federal agencies to help deal with the COVID-19 novel coronavirus impact on the county.The largest amount is $163.37 million that the county received from the U.S. treasury department to help communities and businesses during the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. The funds were allocated to Gwinnett as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act.The funding is expected to cover uses ranging from public facility enhancements designed to increase social distancing, to funding to help small businesses and address housing and food insecurities.A list of uses for the funding was presented to county commissioners Tuesday.“What we’ve done is kind of broken out funding categories where we see immediate need,” Gwinnett County Grants Manager Shannon Candler told the commissioners. “Just to refresh your memory, we did do a needs assessment here in Gwinnett County in the month of April and the key elements that have been identified in the community are economic assistance, emergency food assistance, rental assistance, health care, shelter and long-term housing, medical and cleaning supplies as well as emotional and spiritual care as well as prevention and education resources.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/good-morning-gwinnett-podcast--3262933/support.🎙️ Good Morning Gwinnett PodcastThe #1 hyperlocal podcast in Georgia, produced by Noise Media Network.
