Mahoning County uses ARPA funds to support humane agency operations
What happened
Mahoning County commissioners passed a resolution to meet the statutory obligation to support a humane agent's salary, approving the state minimum of $155 per month. This support utilizes funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. County officials are scheduled to visit the Boardman shelter during the week of Nov. 16 to discuss potential funding options.
