Jay County to seek local and redevelopment funds for new solid waste building; commissioners target $350,000 from redevelopment commission
Summary
Commissioners agreed May 11 to pursue contributions and an EDIT loan to complete funding for a new Jay County Solid Waste District building, approving a motion to request $350,000 from the Jay County Redevelopment Commission and to approach local cities for additional contributions.
The Jay County Commissioners on May 11 agreed to seek outside funding and a county loan to complete financing for a new Jay County Solid Waste District building.
Commission President Duane Monroe said the district currently has funds to cover roughly half of the project and that he will ask the City of Dunkirk for $20,000, the City of Portland for $50,000 and the Jay County Redevelopment Commission for $300,000–$350,000. The commissioners voted unanimously to approach the Redevelopment Commission for $350,000 and said the remaining need — estimated at $200,000–$270,000 — could be satisfied by an EDIT loan with no interest due.
The board agreed in principle to move forward with seeking the contributions; once the final total needed is determined, the county will move forward with an interlocal agreement to document commitments and terms.
The motion to approach the Jay County Redevelopment Commission for $350,000 passed on a unanimous vote. The meeting record does not specify a project timeline or final project budget beyond the stated ranges.
