Lordstown business group seeks commissioners' letter supporting 24-inch water line for industry expansion
Summary
Lordstown Business & Professional Association requested a letter of support from Trumbull County commissioners for a proposed 24-inch water line to provide redundancy and capacity for expanding industry in the Lordstown area.
Michael Sullivan, vice president of the Lordstown Business & Professional Association, asked the Trumbull County Board of Commissioners for a letter of support for a proposed 24-inch water line that would add redundancy and serve expanding industry in the Lordstown area.
Sullivan said the line would serve existing and growing employers and cited recent expansion activity. "All we're asking for is a letter of support," Sullivan told the board, noting the association is seeking a federal grant through the congressman's office and that the chamber requested a letter from the commissioners.
A county staff member said the commissioners had received a letter from Lordstown Mayor Woodford and that county staff attended the municipality’s meeting. The commissioners said they understood the industrial need and that they could discuss providing support.
Why it matters: County staff and local leaders described the project as intended to provide redundancy for an existing 24-inch supply line and to ensure continuity of service for industrial employers. County leaders said they would consider providing a letter to support grant applications.
Board action: No formal vote was taken; commissioners indicated they would discuss the request and follow up with staff on preparing a letter of support.
