Cost-Share Programs Expanded in Athens County
The ASCS administers the 1974 Rural Environmental Conservation Program in Athens County with total RECP funding of 90 million dollars and 10 million for the Water Bank. Irvin Wolfe notes increased tree planting emphasis and new long-term cost-share authority under Title X while planning, technical, and educational help comes from SCS, Forest Service, Extension, and state forestry agencies. Milk prices rise in Athens City Schools by a penny per carton with extra milk at seven cents as supplier costs grow. Barrett cites 1973 budget modest increases driven by Athens income tax receipts up about 72 thousand dollars and state withholding boosting collections, plus nearly 4 thousand in interest from short-term investments.
