“It’s a once-in-a-generation opportunity,” U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan said Thursday.
Of the approximately $260 million coming here, more than $200 million will go directly to the two counties as well as Youngstown and Warren, the largest cities in the counties.
Youngstown is in line to receive $88,629,500 — an amount greater than what is going to Mahoning and Trumbull county governments combined.
Mahoning County is set to get $44,351,660 while Trumbull County is to receive $38,395,838. Warren is expected to receive $29,752,062.
The money is for communities impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as well as for being neglected by the federal government for decades, said Ryan, D-Howland.
