Canyon County Commissioners extend emergency declaration

 

Canyon County’s emergency declaration related to COVID-19 will stay in place for at least another month.

Commissioners Pam White and Keri Smith voted to extend the declaration to ensure the county would be eligible for federal aid.

The emergency declaration has been in place since March 13, 2020. It gives the county the option to secure federal and state aid and maintain uninterrupted operations during the emergency.

The Friday meeting was quick, with no public attendance. The commissioners will vote on the extension again in May.
