CITY OF GRANBURY STEPS UP TO HELP OUT

by Kelly Dean | Aug 28, 2020

During the Aug. 21 Granbury City Council meeting the group voted unanimously to share a large portion of the city’s nearly $579,000 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act funds with the Granbury Independent School District and the Texas Emergency Medical Service. Granbury Mayor Nin Hulett had the pleasure of presenting those funds Thursday.

“The City of Granbury is pleased to partner with both Granbury ISD and Texas EMS in this distribution of CARES Act funds,” said Granbury Mayor Nin Hulett. “Our community is a better place to live, when we share our resources with each other.”

CARES Act funds provide financial resources to state and local governments to help mitigate the economic impacts of COVID-19 and assist with recovery. The City has allocated $55,000 to the Granbury Independent School District to purchase Chromebooks and portable Wi-Fi Hotspots for distance education, and $30,000 to Texas EMS to offset the additional expenses they incurred due to COVID-19.

For more information please contact Granbury Public Information Officer Alex Southern at 817-573-6764 or at asouthern@granbury.org.
