HUNTINGTON Ƶ The City of HuntingtonƵs microgrant program, which has allowed council members the ability to distribute money to a variety of charities of their choosing, will now be a part of the overall contributions from the city.

Mayor Patrick Farrell has taken steps in his proposed Fiscal Year 2026 budget to tighten city finances to adapt to a loss in federal funding the city has relied on in the past. The FY26 budget proposes a reduction in the cityƵs contributions category, from $3.8 million to $2.8 million. Next yearƵs contributions will all be spent on the cityƵs priorities, Farrell said at MondayƵs regular City Council meeting.
