Authority seeks more cops for housing projects
The Lawrence County Housing Authority voted to apply for a two year federal grant to fund additional police officers and drug prevention efforts in housing areas. If approved by HUD, the 278700 grant would mirror a 1994 award and fund officers in New Castle Ellwood City and overtime for Walnut Ridge patrols. The plan also allocates 60000 for a drug counselor and 18000 for a resident coordinator. Board member Robert Session challenged the proposal noting potential conflicts and questioned past program results while authority leaders defended the plan.
