Terre Haute, In. – The Vigo County Health Department was one of many departments that put their budget requests forward to the Vigo County Council this week. The department is asking for around $75,000 for two new trucks that would be used to go around the county and perform food and septic inspections. While the health department got reimbursement funds from the federal government for administering COVID-19 vaccines, those funds cannot go back into the regular budget. The health department is also asking for funding to fill a Director of Nursing position. These two requests will be voted on at next Tuesday’s council meeting.
