A new $97.6 million infusion of federal funding means more eyesores will be erased throughout Ohio and Butler County.
The Butler County Land Bank has already spent almost $7 million in federal, state and local funding to demolish about 600 unsightly structures in Middletown and Hamilton — the county’s two biggest cities.
U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) said today that $97.6 million in federal Hardest Hit Funds — $2 billion worth for the entire country — will come home to Ohio.
