Delaware County commissioners approve routine measures, authorize veteran services procurement card, farmland easements and sewer grant application

Delaware County Board of Commissioners President Barb Lewis and Commissioner Gary Merrill voted April 24 to approve a package of routine resolutions and several substantive items including a procurement card for the veteran services office, participation in the Ohio local agricultural easement purchase program and a $375,000 congressional grant application for a sewer rehabilitation project.
