Funding For Cookeville Senior Center Will Not Be Restored

Funding for the Cookeville Senior Center won’t be restored by the Putnam County Commission.

Members of the senior center requested funding to be restored during a fiscal review committee meeting Monday night, but none of the commissioners made a motion to restore funding.

During this year’s budget process the county decided to eliminate $10,000 in funding for the center that has 900 members and at least 150 daily visitors.

Eliminating the $10,000 leaves the center with a $29,170 allocation from the county compared to $39,170 they received last year.
