Only one application and one grant are permitted per County, each round. Any unspent funds will be redeployed in future rounds, at the discretion of ESD.
If this is not the County's first application for funding this round, any secondary applications submitted would be disqualified because it exceeds the limit of applications permitted per round. Please reach out for any additional clarification.
