Ohio Attorney General announces recipients of Moving Ohio Forward Program demolition grants
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine recently announced that by August 1, 2012, 27 counties will have funds available to them from the Moving Ohio Forward Demolition Program, which exists to help “stabilize and improve communities by removing blighted and abandoned homes with funds from the national mortgage settlement reached earlier this year,” according to a press release from the attorney general. Funds will be available for all of Ohio’s 88 counties, with the total amount of funding available to each county based on “the percentage of foreclosure filings in each county between 2008 and 2011 (which is the time period of the settlement agreement) divided by the total amount of funding ($75 million).” For more, read the press release.
