A $2 million federal grant will help with the construction of development sites in a 45-acre parcel to help attract new businesses to Guernsey County, according to April 4, 2022 and June 14, 2022 articles in The Daily Jeff. Dr. Glenda Bumgarner, president of the Appalachian Partnership, sponsored the grant “and will work with the [Guernsey County Port Authority] in the application process” for projects to be funded, according to the June 16 article. The grant “will require an additional nearly $2 million in matching funds” from sources including additional grants and local dollars. Ten projects “have been identified and each will be fully researched to be included in a grant application that will enhance revitalization, cultural, and recreational areas throughout the county.” For more, read the full April 4, 2022 and June 14, 2022 Daily Jeff articles.
