Children’s Village may not get COVID-19 rescue funds
COEUR d’ALENE — Children’s Village may not receive $291,000 in federal COVID-19 rescue funds Kootenai County approved last year for payroll subsidies, after the county’s legal counsel determined the nonprofit is not eligible for the money.
Commissioners will convene today at 1:30 p.m. to discuss whether Children’s Village is eligible to receive American Rescue Plan Act funds and are expected to decide the next steps during the regular business meeting at 2 p.m.
