“No one understands the needs of their communities quite like our local leaders, but we know finding the resources to get the work done can sometimes be a challenge,” said Director Mihalik. “We’re proud to help turn those priorities into results that protect homes from flooding, improve essential services, and give Ohioans more opportunities to enjoy their neighborhoods.”
These awards are funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant program.
