Belmont, NY - Allegany County is aware that President Trump issued a Memorandum yesterday titled “Temporary Pause of Agency Grant, Loan, and Other Financial Assistance Programs.”
Although
Allegany County is a recipient of both direct and indirect Federal funding,
this Memorandum does not pose an immediate threat to the level of services that
Allegany County provides. All Allegany County business will continue as
usual at this time.
As
of this evening, the only impact that we know this Memorandum will have on
County government may come as some of our contracted agencies choose to
voluntarily limit activities. We will
continue to monitor funding streams and our contracts to ensure that County
services remain intact.
As
more details come forward from the Federal government in the coming days regarding
which funding streams are impacted by the President’s Memorandum, we will
release more information on any specific impacts to Allegany County.
