Bloomdale, Haskins, Pemberville and Tontogany were recommended by Wood County Planning Commission to
receive a share of $155,660 available in community development block grants this year.
Projects submitted by Bradner and Weston were selected as alternates.
Final decision rests with the county commissioners, who will consider the awards June 12. The hearing was
originally meant for Thursday but had to be delayed due to advertising requirements, according to Dave
Steiner, director of the planning commission.
The projects and the CDBG funding they will receive are:
• Bloomdale: $28,870 (plus a $10,000 local contribution) to replace collapsed catch basins with new
concrete basins, clean sewers and replace adjacent pavement, curb, walk and lawn.
• Haskins: $43,900 (plus a $6,200 local contribution) to install at least 38 curb ramps compliant with
the Americans with Disabilities Act.
• Pemberville: $50,000 (plus a $322,000 local contribution) to fund the renovation of the Town Hall and
Opera House to make it ADA compliant, including installation of an elevator and handicap-accessible
restrooms.
• Tontogany: $17,550 (plus a $1,950 local contribution) to fund installation of at least 13 ADA-compliant
curb ramps along Tontogany Creek Road from Crom Street to Kellogg Road.
The projects submitted by the four entities totaled $140,320, leaving the remaining $15,340 to be split
evenly between them.
