Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, on Tuesday released a list showing specific amounts of federal relief funds headed to Southwest Washington cities and counties as part of the congressional CARES act.
Herrer Beutler said in a news release she applauded Washington state’s distribution of more than $40 million in coronavirus relief funds.
“Folks across Southwest Washington have been on the front lines fighting the outbreak of COVID-19, and our cities and counties have felt the effects of this outbreak far and wide,” Herrera Beutler said in the press release. “I’m pleased that the funding I helped secure in Congress is going to benefit our communities here at home as they confront the financial impacts of battling COVID and dealing with the closures of their economies.”
Herrera Beutler said the funding will go to Southwest Washington cities and counties with populations under 500,000 to help defray the costs they’ve incurred from responding to the COVID crisis.
She said that in her position as a senior member of the U.S. House Appropriations Committee, she helped secure this funding for medium- and small-sized counties and cities in order to provide relief for Southwest Washington communities.
