Manassas allocates CARES funding: Schools, airport, small businesses benefit

Manassas is beginning to spend the CARES Act money received from the Federal Government in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

At a June 22 meeting of the City Council meeting, officials unanimously approved $1 million in CARES Act federal grant revenue to recoup pandemic-related costs borne by Manassas City Schools. Andy Hawkins, the executive director of finance and operations for the city
public Schools told the council that the money would be a much-needed boost to the school system.

The funding is broad, Hawkins said, but it would cover expenditures like cleaning the schools and facilities, although he said it would primarily be to help families and students to access the internet and have high-quality functioning service to their home so they can participate in virtual instruction.
