The Butler County Veterans Services Commission is closing its Middletown office but hopes the change will enable them to serve their clients better while saving $227,000, the Journal-News reports.
The commission agreed to permanently shutter the satellite office this week, a facility that has been all-but dormant throughout the pandemic because of mandated restrictions. Executive Director Mike Farmer told the Journal-News they can save $197,000 in personnel costs for three staffers and around $30,000 for rent, internet and other expenses.
