WORTHINGTON In a brief special Nobles County Board meeting Wednesday, commissioners voted to dedicate $75,000 received from the Minnesota Legislature in March 2020 toward salaries and supplies within its Community Services/Public Health agency.
Community Services Director Stacie Golombiecki said the funds were issued to the department to be used toward anything that was needed for COVID-19 mitigation.
“At the time, we were also receiving CARES Act funding,” Golombiecki said. “These funds had a longer timeline to be utilized.”
