Apr 29, 2016 - Toledo Blade - Port board OKs grants for variety of area projects

The Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority Board of Directors on Thursday approved a mission statement.

“The mission of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority is to develop expertise and assets that drive and grow the region’s transportation and logistics infrastructure and its economic prosperity for all.”

A $35,000 grant to Toledo will pay for summer employees at city swimming pools. The money comes from a $350,000 fund set up by the port board to pay for economic development projects run by “eligible, neighborhood organizations in Lucas County.”

The issue drew one no vote. Board member Bill Carroll said he does not believe it’s an appropriate use of the port’s levy receipts, which are supposed to be spent on economic development.
