KUAF's Ozark's at Large spoke with Justice of the Peace Joseph Bollinger, R-District 7, and Benton County Judge Barry Moehring to discuss how they would like to see the county use the multi-million dollar CARES Act reimbursement from the state.

• Members of the Benton County Quorum Court agreed to form a seven-person subcommittee to discuss using a million dollars of a $3.8 million CARES Act reimbursement to the county to help small businesses. The Finance Committee also mentioned using a portion of the funds to host vaccination clinics at the county fairgrounds. -KUAF

• The proposal was made by JOP Joseph Bollinger, R-District 7, who said the county should not be sitting on taxpayer money when small business owners need financial assistance. Bollinger said he would like to see the Quorum Court put a $1 million into a grant program for Benton County's small businesses.

• "It would address businesses that have an annual revenue from $0 to $200K, and from $200K to $400K, depending on how much gross revenue they have. In its current state, if you make $0 to $200K, you'll be eligible for a $5,000 grant, and if you may from $200K to $400K, you'll be eligible for a $2,500 grant," Bollinger says. -KUAF
