RC&D executive director Lauranne James said the funding was divided among nine projects in Franklin County, with the remainder of funding being used to purchase $1,200 worth of sanitizing machines and solution for Franklin County Schools.
State Rep. Jamie Kiel said he was glad to see funding going to good use in education.
“I look at it as an investment,” Kiel said. “The more money we put into schools, and the closer to kids we get those dollars, the more we are going to see it pay off in the long run.”
