COLUMBUS— State Senator Terry Johnson (R-McDermott) praised the release of details on a major effort to improve the quality of life for the people of Appalachia in Ohio. The Appalachian Community Grant Program will infuse $500 million into Ohio's 32-county Appalachian region to revitalize communities and stimulate transformational change.
