Stark County could use your help!

It’s been awhile since my last post. I have things I want to talk about but the pot is still simmering.

I was asked to help out through the CAC with my VOTE for a potential grant for Stark County and wanted to pass along its information to you.

From the Desk of Malia Watkins of the Stark County Regional Planning Commission (SCRPC)

Good afternoon Stark County and Northeast Ohio !!

Stark County Regional Planning would like to announce that is has been chosen as a finalist for a grant given by a Northeast Ohio group called EfficientGovNow and the Fund for Our Economic Future . In total, nine projects were selected to become finalists from a pool of over 60 applicants. The residents of Northeast Ohio will decide who will get funding for these projects.

This is where Stark County needs your help!! The top three projects voted on by the public will receive funding. Please help out Stark County in this regional collaboration project. This project will map out all Storm Water Conveyance System Structures in urbanized areas in the county. Participants include Canton Township, Jackson Township, Lake Township, Nimishillen Township, Perry Township, Plain Township, Tuscarawas Township, City of Louisville, City of North Canton, City of Alliance and Stark County Commissioners.
