The GCPC is a replacement for the old Budget Digest.

Walker did announce the approval of three grants submitted some time ago when Del. Stemple was serving, to the Grantsville and Arnoldsburg Volunteer Fire Departments for $2,250 each.

The Calhoun Clerk's office received a grant for $10,000 for record preservation.

He presented certificates to be issued to the respective fire departments and the County Clerk.

Walker indicated, because of budget problems, he is still waiting on grant requests he has made.
