Kane County has more federal COVID-19 assistance money than requests for help

With less than 90 days to spend the $93 million in federal COVID-19 relief funds it received, Kane County is scrambling to find ways to use the money. Part of cash surplus stems from a general lack of interest in the money by local small businesses. The county only received about $5 million in relief requests from local businesses. It had set aside $8 million to help them. On the flip side, fire districts asked for nearly $5 million more than the county earmarked for them.
