HUNTINGTON — Cabell County commissioners accepted a letter from County Clerk Phyllis Smith about using Open Checkbook to report the county’s American Rescue Plan funds.
BARBOURSVILLE — Delays, disruptions and a host of other challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic have had several negative impacts on the Tanyard Station retail development in Barboursville.
HUNTINGTON â The Cabell County Commission approved some funding requests at its Thursday meeting.
Commissioners considered requests for funds from the hotel/motel occupancy tax and the senior citizens levy for the 2021-22 fiscal year during their Thursday meeting.
For the hotel/motel tax, $80,500 in funding requests were proposed for approval from the $82,000 that was requested. Commissioner Nancy Cartmill said state law outlines how the hotel/motel tax can be spent and it has a deadline to be approved.
âIt has to be to promote tourism in the county,â Cartmill said.
Commissioner Kelli Sobonya said some agencies that made a request last year received funds this year, as the county still had their documentation. Cartmill said the county did not have a hotel/motel tax to give funds last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Sobonya added that some events normally funded by the tax also did not happen last year because of the pandemic.
