East Canton pursues county and state support for waterline project; grant committee to meet commissioners
Summary
Council members discussed grant outreach for a waterline project and agreed to send packets to Stark County commissioners and ask whether the Ohio Public Works Commission could be an alternative funding source for the village's congressionally directed spending application.
Council members and the grants committee reviewed letters and packets related to the village’s congressionally directed spending application for a waterline project and outlined next steps to bolster support.
Committee members said they had copies of letters from the Stark County health commissioners and planned to meet or leave packets with Stark County commissioners if they could not secure an in-person meeting. The grants committee agreed to add a supplemental letter asking whether the Ohio Public Works Commission might be a better funding partner for the waterline work and to provide technical details as needed.
The packet distribution plan included reaching out to local congressional and state representatives’ offices; council members asked colleagues to sign letters to add weight. The grants committee also noted a plan to speak with county officials on Feb. 10 and to include representative and senator offices’ packets for broader support.
Next steps: grants committee to meet with county commissioners or leave packets, add the Ohio Public Works Commission inquiry to outreach materials, and follow up with the village administrator and grant writer for technical details.
