Officials say a meatpacking facility and a livestock auction arena could be among the projects slated to receive a share of federal funds coming to Washington County from the American Rescue Plan Act.
Both items were among possible projects discussed last week by the Community Rescue Assessment Board, which was formed by Washington County Mayor Joe Grandy to identify projects that might be covered by the $25.5 million the county is set to receive from the rescue act.
They are also among the suggestions likely to be heard today when Washington County commissioners meet in a workshop at 4 p.m. While commissioners have indicated waterline extension projects are at the top of their spending list, county officials say there are other opportunities for spending that money.
