Rep. Salvo Applauds Controlling Board Funding to Support Projects in Stark County

COLUMBUS – State Representative Jodi Salvo (R-Bolivar) is pleased to announce that the Ohio Controlling Board approved the release of $250,000 to support the J. Babe Stearn Ball Field project in Stark County.

The funding will be used to construct a multi-purpose turf field at J. Babe Stearn Community Center, supporting outdoor recreation.

“I’m glad we could help make this happen for the J. Babe Stearn Community Center,” said Salvo. “It’s always good to give our kids more opportunities to get outside, play and spend time together.”

The Controlling Board also approved $227,489.86 for Stark State Community College through the RAPIDS program, which supports education and career training programs designed to meet workforce needs.

“I want students to be able to train close to home and see a future for themselves right here in our community,” said Salvo. “This investment in Stark State helps connect students with the skills they need for good jobs and local employers with the skilled workers they need to grow.”

The Ohio Controlling Board oversees requests for changes to budgetary authority for state agencies.
