The Oconto County Board approved a $250,000 grant that will help Encompass of Green Bay bring more child care availability into the county.
The funds, approved unanimously Jan. 23, are to come out of an American Rescue Plan Coronavirus Fiscal Recovery allocation of about $460,000 for Health and Human Services projects.
Encompass was the larger of two child care providers that responded to a request for applications sent out during the fourth quarter of 2022, Health and Human Services Director Scott Shackelford told the county board.
