DLG Commissioner Dennis Keene said the reimbursements are essential for local governments.
"We know our local governments are experiencing decreases in revenue, making this funding even more important while we combat this virus," said Keene. "Our staff is working diligently to make the process simple and efficient so we can get reimbursements out the door to our cities and counties as quickly as possible."
