Health District Losing $65,000 In Grant Money; More Unknowns Remain

North Central Public Health District knows about $65,000 in federal grant funding frozen and rescinded, and there are still plenty of unknowns to deal with.  District Executive Director Martha McInnes says that doesn’t sound like a lot for an agency with a $5 million budget, but its money that was focused on public health in Wasco and Sherman counties, and now it’s gone.  McInnes adds what is most difficult right now is the inability to plan.  The district receives federal grants passed down through the state.  McInnes says their budget includes about $450,000 of those kinds of funds, representing around ten percent of the district’s budget.
