Franklin County Losing Lawrenceburg Casino Grant For 2014

Franklin County may soon deal with the affects of a revenue decline at local casinos.

Lawrenceburg grant program officials recently informed Franklin County Council members that it will not send a $500,000 grant for 2014 that has been given annually to the county.

The Franklin County Observer reports a revenue decrease at the Hollywood Casino and a new casino in Cincinnati led to the cut-off.

Franklin County Council had included the half million dollars into its 2014 budget which has already been submitted to the state. The county is unable to make adjustments to next year’s budget until the review process is complete, according to the Observer.
