Competing Regional Groups Stir Athens Crime and Growth Plans
Athens city and the county face a clash as the Southeast Ohio Council of Governments SEOCOG and the Buckeye Hills Hocking Valley Regional Development Council Buckeye Hills HV RDC growl over federal crime control and economic development grants. Officials worry duplication and costly overlaps could hurt both groups and jeopardize Athens County planning funding. The RDC seeks separate staff and funding while COG pushes for crime control planning, risking undermining the county planning commission which relies on DPI to deliver a comprehensive plan for federal monies.
