So far, I m very pleased with the response we ve received and the interest from our county businesses, Shaffer said.
There also is $80,000 remaining from previous local programs, most recently a restaurant subsidy program, that also can be utilized.
Commissioner Jeff Plasterer said there are eight members of a selection committee that will be divided into two-person teams, with each team reviewing a quarter of the applications. The entire group will come together June 1 to make the final awards.
The county would then distribute the money and apply to OCRA for reimbursement.

Shaffer also told commissioners the EDC is reviewing parameters for EDIT grants.
Shortages and solutions
Retter appreciated the senator taking time to listen and show that law enforcement agencies not only have local and state support, but federal support, as well. It made Retter feel like Young cares about law enforcement and will investigate solutions to their problems. I feel like he definitely does listen, Retter said. He brought up something like the ammo shortage that he saw as a potential problem we would have.
Young suggested a federal program that allows military surpluses to be distributed to civilian organizations might help law enforcement survive the ammunition imbalance and maintain training standards.
