Settlement money began to be received in Ohio in late 2022 and will continue for an anticipated 18 year period. Region 15 has been waiting for the State Foundation to prepare the pathway for grant applications – and now that has happened. The Region 15 OneOhio Board is looking forward to finally receiving, scoring and ranking applications – with the intent of money beginning to be distributed to local projects in 2024.
