Discussion of the Caronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act took up much of the Ste. Genevieve County Commission’s abbreviated Dec. 23 meeting.
The commission met for about two hours that Wednesday, since the courthouse was closed on Christmas Eve.
The commission was feeling the stress of not knowing how things would play out in Washington, D.C. between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
The $2,099,323 in CARES Act money the county received came with some strings attached. One notable string was that it must be spent by Dec. 31 or returned.
