WHEELING The Wheeling-Ohio County Board of Education’s vote earlier this week to reduce funding to the Ohio County Public Library by a third is expected to negatively impact the facility’s ability to continue its outreach programs and provide resources, according to the library’s director.
At Monday’s meeting, the board voted 3-2 to reduce the funding provided to the library for the coming fiscal year from 3 cents per $100 of assessed property value to 2 cents. This will cut the funding to be contributed to the library from about $884,547 a year to $589,698.
Board President David Croft said later that the money saved from that funding reduction will go to filling in where necessary on the $76 million in property improvement projects in progress around the district.
