Barber Center To Get Aid From Fed Funds
Erie County commissioners approved an extra 200000 from federal jobs money for the Dr. Gertrude A. Barber Center to offset a decline in state funding. The center would have closed in about two weeks without the aid, with discussions of possible summer-hour cuts at the Corry Campus. State funding to the Center for Exceptional Children and Adults will be about 350000 short, threatening operations. The center will receive about 50000 now and the remainder as federal funds become available.
