Lawrence County Housing Authority chief Charles Kraus outlines a $4.7 million five year modernization to HUD as utility costs climb and vandalism erodes funds. He notes rent caps limit maintenance, while plans target improved heating, security and a new community center with $93,600 for conversion.

New Castle approves two temporary administrators amid protest
In New Castle, two board members opposed appointing Joseph A. Martin Jr as acting assistant to the superintendent and Samuel Ascione as acting elementary principal citing a $1.6 million district deficit.
