Staring down the possibility of economic ruin from the coronavirus crisis, Leon County and Tallahassee city commissioners signed off on a $1 million relief package for local businesses. The decision by the Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency, made up of all 12 city and county commissioners, happened Wednesday during what was one of the most unusual and perhaps most important meetings in its history. In keeping with social distancing protocols, commissioners hammered out a relief deal via video conference. After hours of sometimes tense debate, commissioners approved payments of between $1,500 and $5,000 using Blueprint sales tax dollars.
