(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners have set March 1 as the deadline for groups in Richardson County to submit applications to receive American Rescue Plan Act funds awarded to Richardson County.

After applications are received, they will go through a review process with ARPA Administrator Austin Duerfeldt and then presented to the County Board for their review which will include an allocated time period for public comment during a regular meeting of the Board.

Following this process, should funds still be available, another grant application process will be established.
