Increased Financial Support for Small Counties with Federal Lands

Key points
Increased financial support for counties with populations under 50,000 that contain federal lands.
New payment calculation rules mean more money for the smallest communities, potentially improving their budgets.
The changes aim to ensure small counties can better fund their essential services for residents.
