EDINBURG – Hidalgo County Judge Richard F. Cortez has issued the following statement regarding the Government Shutdown:
“I want to reassure the people of Hidalgo County that county departments receiving federal funds are not expected to be immediately impacted by the government shutdown. Essential services will continue, and county operations remain in place for the time being. This includes services provided by WIC, Department of Health and Human Services, Hidalgo County Head Start Program and the Urban County Program.
However, we recognize that a prolonged shutdown can have ripple effects in our community. We are monitoring the situation closely and working with our partners to determine the total possible impact. Our priority is to ensure that county residents continue receiving the services they rely on, and we will keep the public informed as more information becomes available.”
