Grant For The Nova Plant

Fulton County commissioners approve the acceptance of a Community Development Block Grant…to fund technical assistance for the Nova Tube and Steel plant…under construction in Delta. The $500,000 dollars was awarded by the Competitive Economic Benefit Program. Officials say the county made the application for the funds through the Maumee Valley Planning Organization, in Defiance. The technical assistance will include an environmental review, completion of all reporting, maintaining grant files, maintaining records for state and federal regulations, and conducting a pre-construction conference, among other things. Roughly 100 new jobs will be coming, by mid-2022.
