Coronavirus relief funds will soon be on the way to qualified businesses and nonprofits after the Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Aug. 18 regular meeting to approve a resolution for the distribution of CARES Act funds. Applications are now available on the county website.
Henry County received notification of its eligibility for $8,457,973 in the Phase 1 allocation, with a 30 percent advance in the amount of $2,537,392.
