WELLSBURG Federal pandemic relief funds, littering and speeding trucks were among matters before the Brooke County Commission on Tuesday.
The commissioners and other area officials are slated to meet later this month with U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin and officials with the state auditor’s office to learn about guidelines set for funds issued to local government bodies through the federal American Rescue Plan.
Of about $4 billion to be awarded through the state under President Biden’s pandemic relief plan, Brooke County is expected to receive about $4. 25 million, according to Manchin’s office.
