The King George County Board of Supervisors held a brief Public Hearing on the County's upcoming budget proposal. Carol Werle asked during the Public Comment period at the beginning of the meeting about the proposed grants for small businesses by the Economic Development Authority (EDA). Dr. Neiman Young, County Administrator, would later clarify for her that the grant program for small businesses was currently in the planning stages and not finalized yet. He also said that the program had many potential solutions to the high financial burdens placed on small businesses that included micro loans, grants, and other financial aid.
Regarding the County's budget for fiscal year 2019/2020, Dr. Young reiterated what he already covered in the previous regular Board meeting. When the floor was open for Public Comment on the budget, one resident asked if there were copies of the budget to be reviewed. Dr. Young said the budget was posted on the County's website as well as printed in the Free Lance-Star. As the meeting progressed, he also had staff print copies to be on hand for those in the audience. Jim Lynch, a frequent attendee and speaker, also commented on the Supervisors hard work and quoted from George Washington.
With a promise to schedule work sessions for a two-year budget proposal, Dr. Young concluded his presentation. The meeting ended shortly afterwards.
