KILLEEN, TX — Killeen Mayor Jose Segarra and state representative John Carter (TX-31) announced a $230,937 federal grant for Killeen on Tuesday to support the city's response to COVID-19.
“I’m pleased to announce that the City of Killeen has earned a federal grant of over $230,000 to respond to the coronavirus,” Representative Carter said in a statement. “We know that many local entities have been forced to stretch each dollar as far as possible because of the additional expenses caused by this virus, so this funding will go a long way in helping cover those costs.”
The money comes from the Coronavirus Emergency Supplemental Funding Program. The program allows funding recipients to use the money received on a wide range of activities to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus.
