County officials had previously allocated $500,000 in ARPA dollars to the Jefferson County Economic Development Council for distribution to local businesses, and another $500,000 to the Olympic Community Action Program for housing units at the Caswell-Brown Village.
The Jefferson County Public Utility District received $750,000 in ARPA funding from the county for expansion of broadband services.
