At its October 7, 2026 meeting, the Nicholas County Commission approved $45,000 in financial-assistance grants across 15 awards. Named allocations included $5,000 each for the Nicholas County Fair, Richwood City Pool renovations, and Solid Waste Authority office repairs and construction; $2,500 for Old Main Foundation roof maintenance and $2,000 for Cherry River Foundation windows, among others. The commission also approved exterior work on the county building: a $20,375 base bid from Alpha Construction and a separate $4,510 pressure-washing bid from Almost Heaven Surface Solutions. Commissioners approved funding for a peer-support recovery coordinator at an estimated annual cost of $65,000, with costs expected to be shared among three partners at roughly $22,000 each; the commitment was described as a one-year arrangement, and a grant application for longer-term support was noted.

The commission approved a $30,000 contribution toward an outdoor basketball court at Valley River Elementary School, conditioned on guaranteed public access; the project had community fundraising support, and bids were due later that week. Other actions included motions to review budget revisions and departmental invoices, board appointments, and approval of a proclamation recognizing Gold Star Mothers Weekend. No contract number or specific funding source for the basketball-court contribution was stated.
