Ellwood Officials Angry Over Grant Cuts
Ellwood City officials denounce federal grant reductions for police protection in Walnut Ridge housing. The Lawrence County Housing Authority voted to seek a two year HUD grant totaling 278700, cutting Ellwood’s share to 30000 from 62676. New Castle would receive 170700 for three officers, plus 18000 for a resident coordinator and 60000 for a drug counselor. Police Chief Joseph Santillo Jr described prior funds funding 2746 overtime hours, 32 percent of patrol time, noting improved quality of life and resident engagement. He warned reduced funds would shrink patrols to about 10 hours weekly, risking past gains and residents’ sense of safety.
