HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — More than 200 Huntsville Utilities customers will see an unexpected expense on their next utility bill after a grant providing $100 in assistance to 255 customers was deemed “no longer valid due to President Trump’s Executive Order to rescind the funding behind the grant.”
“Due to Presidential Executive Order; the awards have been rescinded.”
Mastin, in a statement, clarified:
“However, due to the Presidential executive order; the awards have been rescinded. We have been assured by vendors that no one will face disconnection of services due to this grant pause. We will continue to provide essential services to support our community and assist those in need.
