Belmont County and the Village of Fairview, in Guernsey County, intends to apply to the Ohio Department of Development for funding under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Residential Public Infrastructure Grant Program (RPIG), a federally funded program administered by the State of Ohio for the construction of a water line extension from the Village of Barnesville to serve the areas of Hendrysburg and Mt. Olivett Road in Belmont County and the Village of Fairview in Guernsey County. The County and Village may each be eligible for up to $750,000 of the FY 2025 CDBG RPIG funding, provided the County and Village meets applicable program requirements.
