Billions of dollars are being allocated throughout Ohio as part of the COVID-19 relief package passed by Congress and signed into law by President Joe Biden a week ago.
There are billions headed the state government’s way, and billions more going to Ohio’s biggest cities and tiniest villages. Cleveland tops the list with more than $500 million going to the Forest City, while 11 incorporated villages (each with populations of 75 or fewer residents) are set to receive an estimated $10,000 apiece.
The money is generally being allocated according to population. The funding model separates the state’s “metro cities” from other incorporated cities and villages.
These estimates come from the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
Bowlng Green stands to receive $7,620,000.
Wood County would receive $25,370,000.
Perrysburg stands to receive $4,240,000.
