Nowata County Commissioners approve accepting bids for repairs to the sheriff's garage roof. This was something that had previously been brought up by Sheriff Jason McLain at a recent meeting. Chairman Burke LaRue says he has discussed the repairs with a contractor and that it would make the most sense to repair the entire roof.
A Rural Economic Action Plan grant application for $50,000 had been approved. This will help cover costs associated with the repair. Sheriff McLain says depending on how the bids come in he may request funds from ARPA.
