Over $800,000 in grant money could be coming to Door and Kewaunee Counties to help cover the costs of their COVID-19 response. Governor Tony Evers announced the Routes to Recovery grants on Wednesday, which will provide $200 million in funding for costs not already covered by the state. Door County Administrator Ken Pabich says it will use its $465,778 to help cover expenses related to personal protective equipment purchases and sick leave for employees taking COVID-19 precautions.
Pabich says it has been keeping a record of the unbudgeted expenses related to its pandemic response so it can apply for the available grant money. Kewaunee County is eligible to receive $337,864 in grant aid from the program.
