The city of Bowling Green is working to get about $3 million in federal CARES Act money into the hands of city residents as quickly as possible through several initiatives.
âWhen you do it programatically, there are a lot of steps to be takenâ â on behalf of the city and applicants, said city Neighborhood and Community Services Director Brent Childers. âWe were not seeing the progress weâd like to seeâ in the funds getting into the community.
In an effort to get money in the hands of community members more quickly, the city took several steps at last weekâs city commission meeting.
