Charles Town Commission Forms In-House Grant Writing Position
Feud with state org leads JCC to create new grant-writing position
The Spirit of Jefferson | Thursday, April 3, 2025
Following a dispute with Region 9, the Jefferson County Commission voted to establish its own grant-writing position, reducing funding to the regional organization from $54,000 to $25,000. This decision comes after concerns regarding their lack of awarded grants for local infrastructure needs, particularly a long-sought groundwater study. Commission members emphasized the necessity of proactive funding efforts to benefit towns like Charles Town, and the new role will be crucial in addressing community priorities and efficiently securing financial resources.
