Mayor Barrett Seeks HUD Funding For Regional Housing Plan
After a Friday Columbus meeting with HUD officials, Mayor Donald Barrett said Athens and Nelsonville are likely to receive approval for a Metropolitan Housing Authority Planning grant. He urged a joint Nelsonville Athens City Council session to discuss the grant in detail and raised concerns over Ohio’s use of a $494,000 Intergovernmental Personnel Act Administration grant. Barrett criticized proposed four regional training centers as diluting funds and favored concentrating money on civil service testing and validation to aid municipalities.
