Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill updates the rules for an existing Kentucky economic development grant program by expanding who can receive grants to include nonprofit corporations created by government agencies. It also gives applicants more time, two years, to apply for matching funds after receiving a federal grant award, and ensures that any grants approved before the program ends will still be fully paid out. Who it may affect: local governments, government-created nonprofits, and communities seeking economic development funding.
