County officials warn a balanced general fund requires cuts in 1977 with receipts estimated at 2.47 million against 2.87 million in expenditures. Officials consider seeking federal grants and a one half cent sales tax to stabilize finances as projects like the Zimmer Nuclear Plant and East Fork Lake Park loom. Local leaders urge setting funding priorities to avoid deficits while awaiting potential state aid and industry growth.

Clermont County awaits federal aid decision for new jail
Clermont County officials led by Commissioner Tim Hogan say no final word on federal funding for a new jail. The county seeks about 2.3 million from the Economic Development Agency but remains in a holding pattern while waiting on federal action.
