Flower Mound, Lavon, Rowlett, Fate, Seagoville and Farmers Branch are among Texas municipalities and counties sharing $41 million in federal funds to help with the Coronavirus response.
Funds will be used for first responder overtime and hazard pay; equipment and supplies supporting teleworking technologies, social distancing and personal protective gear; county jail costs associated with the medical needs of inmates as well as reimbursement for holding inmates awaiting transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
In North Texas, the amounts range from a low of $10,000 for Fate up to just over $191,000 for Rowlett.
