All qualifying entities within the County were offered the opportunity to apply for a portion of the funds. The City submitted an application for $15,863.80, the non-Bangor portion of third party costs associated with the establishment of the off site testing site and preparing the Cross Insurance Center to become an acute care surge site if necessary. These two projects were chosen for submission as they serve a regional public health benefit.
