The Grays Harbor County Commissioners on Monday approved 2020 funding for four projects following a recommendation from the Economic Development Advisory Committee.
In their recommendation, the committee said that it met on August 14 to discuss and evaluate seven applications that had been submitted for possible funding.

That request was not approved on Monday, although the commissioners said that additional options may be available.
