$250,000 for sewer

VIENNA

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, has announced that $250,000 for sewer construction along state Route 193 in Vienna Township has been awarded to Trumbull County through the Appalachian Regional Commission.

The money will be used on the third phase of the Little Squaw Creek Interceptor project, which will benefit 37 homes and 17 businesses. Total cost for phase three is $1.9 million.

About two years ago, Congress added Trumbull, Mahoning and Ashtabula counties to the 29 Ohio counties that were part of the commission. Columbiana County already was part of the ARC.
