This initiative will be funded by $2 million that the county has set aside from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The BOS instructed concerned parties to submit updated applications between June 10 and June 17.
The BOS estimates that between 2,300 and 2,400 locals would get $1,400 stimulus checks, which will be distributed somewhere in late June or early July.
The initial deadline of May 23 was extended because of the large number of applications received over the last weekend, as reported by the county’s Board of Supervisors (BOS).
“As the Board explained to the Press-Citizen, “we made a good-faith effort decision to extend the application because there were literally hundreds of citizens who were qualified based on what they were reporting over the phone and via email.”
