Open Records Request: Community Public Safety Grant

To Whom It May Concern:

According to a press release from Gov. Kemp's office on June 8, 2023, the Governor's office awarded more than $83.5 million in grants for 118 qualified projects as part of the Community Public Safety Grant program. This included a grant of $1,650,000 to the Henry County Sheriff's Office described in additional documents provided by the Governor: https://gov.georgia.gov/sites/gov.georgia.gov/files/2023-06/Grantee%20List%20for%20Public%20Safety%20Release1024_7_0.jpg

Pursuant to the Georgia Open Records Act, I hereby request the following records:

A copy of all documents, including but not limited to, applications, agreements, and reporting documents from the "Community Public Safety Grant" program for the grant of $1,650,000 received by the Henry County Sheriff's Office, as described in the Governor's press release and additional documents.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

e

Thank you.

Can you please clarify? Has the Henry County Sheriff's Office been awarded the grant in question? I am not specifically asking if the funds have been transferred but if the grant has been awarded? Also, I am still seeking the documents for an application to this grant program even if the grant wasn't approved.

Thanks.
