Moultrie County, along with counties and municipalities all over the country, is a recipient of funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. Moultrie County to date has received $1.4 million from the US Treasury and anticipates an additional distribution to Moultrie County of another $1.4 million around May of 2022. The Moultrie County board assembled a bi-partisan ad hoc committee made up of members representing the villages and towns around the county. This five member committee recommended the Moultrie County Board focus the first waive of funds on mental health needs and economic recovery of non-profits in Moultrie County who serve the people of Moultrie County. The board is happy to announce the application packets are now available and ready for pickup in the County Treasurer’s office on the second floor of the courthouse in Sullivan. All applications must be picked up in person and may be returned the same or by mail. Applications for the first waive of funding are due back to the County Treasurer’s office by the end of business on December 10, 2021. The counties efforts are to focus on getting recovery funds to entities that support the county and have suffered losses without the ability to receive previously offered COVID funding.
