Plains project financing delayed by county board
County commissioners took no action on hiring a financial consultant for The Plains water and sewer district. Discussion toward financing for the proposed 1.3 million dollar project with Hinsch Co. of Cincinnati and a possible Farmers Home Administration meeting followed a federal grant possibility. The board approved road asphalt purchases totaling about 72 thousand dollars and a new sheriff cruiser. They also approved a backhoe and end loader for York Two trustees, though that purchase had awaited county approval. A trustee claimed not knowing county approval was required.
