Governor Kaine announced the Virginia recipients of the Neighborhood Stabilization fund grants yesterday. Unfortunately, neither Fauquier or Culpeper made the cut. Incredibly, Prince William county doesn't appear to have gotten a dime!
This would have had a small impact, but every little bit helps.
There was a little money given to Shenandoah, Frederick and Warren counties, $2.5 million for all three combined.
I'm not sure you could argue they are harder hit than places like Culpeper. In fact, I'd make a pretty good argument against that.
CLARIFICATION/CORRECTION:
It appears Prince William got funds as part of an earlier $7 million award, along with Fairfax county.
The original announcement said there was $20 million available for the Open Submission portion of the program and another $10 million available for the Competitive Program. Between the $17.5 announced yesterday and the earlier $7 million awards, there should be another roughly $5 million available. So there may yet be funds available for Fauquier and Culpeper.
