Pulaski County residents have a chance to weigh in on a proposed small business relief program during this morning’s county commissioners meeting. A public hearing will be held on the county’s application for $250,000 from the state’s COVID-19 Response Program. If approved, that money would then be used to provide grants to Pulaski County businesses, similar to a program that recently took place in the City of Knox.
In other business today, the commissioners are also expected to finalize a change to the permit fee for commercial solar panels. The county’s advisory plan commission has recommended adjusting the fee from $1,250 per megawatt to a flat fee of $15,000 plus 105 percent of any expenses the county incurs as part of the process. A dump fee increase at the Pulaski County Recycling and Transfer Station will be discussed, as well.
This morning’s Pulaski County Commissioners meeting starts at 8:30 at the Pulaski County Highway Garage.
