Missed the March 9, 2022 Wake County Board of Commissioners meeting? Here are the highlights:
We welcomed Girl Scouts from across Wake County to lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. Then, the board proclaimed March 6-12 as Girl Scout Week in Wake County! Girls from Girl Scouts - North Carolina Coastal Pines joined the commissioners to celebrate and share some of those delicious cookies they’re famous for!
The board voted to fund 71 projects totaling $20 million that will support the county’s goals and lift up our community’s most vulnerable residents. Dubbed “Elevate Wake,” the initiative uses American Rescue Plan funds to invest in these worthwhile efforts.
Projects include:
$2 million for the Boys & Girls Club of Wake County to relocate its Brentwood Club to Dream Center on Fox Road.
$900,000 for the Lucy Daniels Center to build a 4,500 sq. ft. expansion to serve 1,100 more children and families.
$137,000 to the Diaper Bank of North Carolina for free diapers to low-income families.
