Thirty-six applicants, seeking nearly a half a million dollars, submitted project suggestions to use $225,000 in Local Option Sales Tax revenue. The LOST advisory board will review the applications and make their decision by early May. Awards will begin The chart here lists the 36 applicants in the order their proposal was received by the Plymouth County auditor's office.
LOST revenue is collected as a one-penny sales tax. The LOST was established in 2001 with the primary purpose of paying for more than half of the construction of the Plymouth County Law Enforcement Center. Any money collected above the construction costs in the LOST's 15 years of existence are to go for community betterment projects. This grant selection process is part of that effort.
