ARPA amendment could help Washington County nonprofits, heads to quorum court for vote

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Some local nonprofits could be getting financial help from the Washington County Quorum Court.

The court’s Finance and Budget Committee passed an amendment on June 6 to the 2023 American Rescue Plan Act budget.

Close to $600,000 could be going to approved non-profits to reimburse them for the lack of fundraising during the pandemic.

It now heads to the full quorum court to get final approval.
