The Environmental Protection Agency agreed Thursday to restore $325,000 in funding tothe Bay Journal, a print and online news outlet covering environmental issues related to the Chesapeake Bay.
The EPA funded the York County-based newspaper for 27 years through Republican and Democratic administrations. In August 2017, the agency unexpectedly cut off the money. The decision was made two years into a six-year grant, after the EPA cited an unexplained “shift in priorities.”
