They added several items to the original $1.83 billion proposal, including $250,000 as a match for transit grants, $200,000 for literacy programs and $150,000 to help provide food for the needy.Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash said the $150,000 would be a challenge grant to incentivize more people in the community to put money toward helping people access food. The county had already planned to spend $1 million to help with homelessness.
