Executive Pry Announces $1 Million in FEMA Funds Coming to Summit
County, Local Municipalities and Educational Institutions to Benefit
Today, Tuesday, January 13, 2009, Summit County Executive Russell M. Pry
announced that a mix of local municipalities and educational
institutions throughout the community will be receiving over $1 million
in Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Public Assistance
Reimbursement Funds.
The federal dollars are being refunded back to twenty-eight Summit
County agencies as a result of the severe, wind storm that blew through
