One area nonprofit has been selected by to 700-thousand dollars in funding through a state grant.

Governor Glenn Youngkin announced Friday that the Blue Grass Resource Center in Monterrey was one of 16 organizations across the commonwealth that were recommended to share more than seven million dollars through the Appalachian Regional Commission.

In a release, Youngkin said the awards are meant to create economic opportunities, build critical infrastructure” and support development in communities that he says “too often go underserved.”
