As Klickitat County Commissioners prepare their budget for 2017, a changing reality when it comes to federal and state grant is part of it. Commissioner Rex Johnston says they receive 25 to 35 million dollars in federal and state grants, mainly for capital construction projects. He says some of that is drying up, and also there are new rules to consider, most notably the requirement to finish a project by a designated date or having to give the money back. Johnston says that means they have to be very careful planning capital projects so there is sufficient time and money to finish a project.
