Pender Co. leaders taking a look at budget for DSS | Business

PENDER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Leaders in Pender County are looking to see if they have any extra money for the Department of Social Services.

The move comes after the state cut millions of dollars in childcare funding, forcing Pender County to stop daycare services for dozens of families.

If leaders find extra money in their budget, the board of commissioners still has to approve giving the money to DSS.
