County Receives $90 Million in CARES Funding to Support COVID-19 Response

Adams County has received $90 million from the federal government under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The funding will cover costs that are necessary to respond to the ongoing public health emergency related to COVID-19. The county will distribute 45% of the allocated funds to municipalities that were ineligible to receive direct funding under the CARES Act. Specific allocation details will be released in the next week and will follow similar distribution formulas used by the county when allocating funds to Adams County municipalities.
