PORT CLINTON — The Ottawa County Transportation Agency could update its fleet with federal grant funds in the near future.
The U.S. Department of Transportation recently announced the local agency will receive part of a $6.7 million grant awarded to the Ohio Department of Transportation.

In 1982, Tim Blake writes a song. He is not yet a full decade into his work at U.S. Steel, that titan of the local economy and the foothold for thousands of families in Lorain. It is in that Northeast Ohio city that he confronts the wildfire of local and national steel layoffs in the early 1980s with a weary optimism. The song is called "Take Another Route."
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Federal Aviation Administration will give Cleveland Hopkins International Airport an $8 million grant to prevent the recurrence of runway deicing problems that resulted in unsafe winter conditions at the airport, according to Toledo Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur.
Kaptur said the grant is on top of more than $22 million that the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded Hopkins in July to improve the airport's snow removal fleet and reconfigure its taxiways to improve sightlines for pilots and airfield crews.
The December budget deal directed HHS and the Veteran’s Administration to produce a report on prices paid by federal health programs on prescription drugs going back to 2003 as well as an analysis of the resources it takes to bring a new drug to market. That was supposed to be due six months later — in June — and could throw fuel onto the drug price fire. The office of Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who requested the report, said in late August that it was due “within weeks” — so keep an eye out.
