By Tom Corrigan [email protected]
“Going in, I was a little intimidated,” said Katie Shepherd, a 21-year-old from West Portsmouth, a recovering addict and one of the first two women to sign up for the elec- tric technician training program offered by the Hughes Re-Entry Center, part of the Counseling Center, Inc., in Franklin Furnace. “Our purpose is to bridge a gap,” said Nick Ferrara, administrative director of the Hughes Center. Their goal is, Fer- rara said, clearly to help persons recovering from addiction issues to reen- ter society, to become that somewhat clichéd productive member of society again, or possibly even for the first time.

2018 was an exciting year in the Scioto County Commissioners Office. A lot of progress was made, and the county continues to enjoy a healthy financial portfolio.
The last year has continued to show progress for the Scioto County Commissioners as many projects are being accomplished with many in process. While the Scioto County Commissioners continue to balance the fallout of the loss of over $2.1 million annually of MCO sales tax revenue, the county’s carryover remains strong with over $6.8 million in carryover funds as well as over $7 million in MCO offset funds. This is only possible through conservative fiscal budgeting and the hard work of the elected.
The Scioto County Land Reutilization Corporation (Land Bank) acquired and demolished 90 houses, reducing blight and improving land values. Several courthouse renovations. Our office administers close to $1 million in CDBG and CHIP monies to help mulitple local agencies, townships, villages, as well as low/middle income home owners.
