The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Sept. 7 regular meeting to approve the disbursement of $100,000 in matching funds to be applied toward a grant for the Henry County Library Board of Trustees regarding a renovation project at the county’s headquarters library in McDonough.

The library system applied for a 90/10 capital outlay grant and received $900,000 in state funding on the condition that a local match could be provided. The renovation is an approved project under the county’s special-purpose local option sales tax, so SPLOST funds will be used for the match.
