Some revenue from a sales tax Summit County voters approved in 2024 goes to grants for critical services providers.
Suzy Lee, who chairs the emergency services sales tax grant committee, says eight organizations were eligible to apply for a share of the $850,000 available this year.
All of the six organizations that applied got some funding.
“The purpose is to fund capital improvements and the acquisition of personal property for emergency medical services, solid waste disposal, search and rescue activities, law enforcement activities and fire protection services to offset the impacts of tourism in Summit County,” Lee explained at the June 10 Summit County Council meeting.
The grants councilmembers approved June 10 went to every law enforcement organization in the county and its three major fire districts.
