(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission on Monday heard about possible uses for $1.8 million allocated to the county from the American Rescue Plan Act approved by Congress last year.

Scot Loyd and Carlotta Sunderland with the accounting firm, Loyd Group, meet with the Commission to discuss the matter.

The county has until the end of 2024 to spend the federal funding.

In other business, county resident Lucas Heinen presented commissioners with a list of 125 Brown County residents opposed to the development of wind energy projects in the county.

Commissioners have not taken a stand either in support or against the development of wind energy projects in the county.

Commissioners last week approved an engagement letter with a Wichita attorney with expertise on wind energy issues to provide advice on both sides of the issue.
