The Lorain County board amended a Tuesday resolution to use ARPA funds to reimburse the general fund for COVID-19 revenue shortfalls up to 11.7 million. Fiscal Director KC Saunders and officials said the real amount will likely be lower as they explained ARPA rules and the need to retain unspent funds. The Friday session was the final meeting of 2024 with organizational opening set for January 13, 2025, introducing newly elected Commissioner Marty Gallagher after his GOP primary win and general election.
