Utilities public meeting

CHAMPION — Trumbull County commissioners will have a public meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 23 in Lecture Hall A in the Classroom Administration Building at the Kent State University Trumbull Campus to discuss natural gas and electrical aggregation.

On this November’s ballot, voters in Trumbull County’s townships will be asked whether they want to grant to give the commissioners the authority to secure a group price (aggregation) for electricity and natural gas that consumers could then buy.

The issue allows any resident who does not want to participate to opt out of the aggregation.

It will not be on the ballot for residents of cities and villages.

Speakers will be trustees Jeff Hovanic of Champion Township and Jack Simon of Liberty Township. Both townships already have aggregation programs in place.
