HUNTINGTON — Newly appointed Huntington Police Chief Karl Colder knows as an outsider he has an uphill battle ahead of him within a tight-knit community of fewer than 50,000 residents.
HUNTINGTON â A position that would oversee the City of Huntingtonâs American Rescue Plan Act funds was approved by city council members on Monday night.
The City Council approved a resolution that creates a project manager position that would oversee the budgeting, reporting and documentation for the cityâs ARP funds, of which Huntington has received about $40 million. The city must spend the funds within four years. The necessity of the position will be evaluated annually throughout the grantâs lifetime.
City manager Hank Dial said following the council meeting that the city has already received some applications as the job has been advertised.
