Whether it is in Youngstown or Akron, Cleveland or Toledo our communities are still recovering from the destruction and devastation of the housing crisis. I am proud that I was able to help secure these funds that will reinvigorate the neighborhoods that have been hit hardest by long-term blight and decay creating healthier, more economically competitive and sustainable communities across our state, said Congressman Ryan. Congressman Ryan is a member of the House Appropriations Committee and strongly supported this inclusion throughout the negotiation process and in the final version of the Fiscal Year 2016 government funding bill. In 2015, $13 million was made available from the U.S. Treasurys Hardest Hit Fund for 12 Ohio land banks including Mahoning, Trumbull, and Stark Counties which will each receive $500,000. In 2014, $60 million was made available from the U.S. Treasurys Hardest Hit Fund for Ohio including $4,266,250 for Mahoning County, $3,221,25 for Trumbull Country, and $2,000,000 for Summit County. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
