OSWEGO â The Labette County COVID-19 relief program is nearing the Dec. 30 spending deadline, and the county is on track to spend the nearly $4 million received from the state, county commissioners heard Monday. The county received $3,983,558.77 from the stateâs Strengthening People and Revitalizing Kansas program, which is distributing federal pandemic relief money. The money can be used to reimburse for COVID-19-related expenses or for projects tied to the pandemic. If the money isnât spent by Dec. 30 the county will have to send back whatâs left. The county gave $1.25 million to Labette Health and smaller amounts to cities, schools, Labette Community College and Labette Center for Mental Health Services. About $900,000 was divided among four programs that distributed money upon qualifying request to businesses, day cares/senior care, food programs and for connectivity projects. Last week, the county transferred about $98,000 more to that program from money set aside for administrative expenses.
