The Hall of Fame Village could receive $9.76 million and the Pro Football Hall of Fame is set to receive $7 million from a state legislature plan to fund community projects.
They are among five projects in Stark County and more than 600 projects statewide that are expected to receive part of the $700 million set aside by lawmakers for one-time support of extra community projects. Some legislators called it the “super duper fund.”
The House and Senate agreed that each chamber would each decide how to spend $350 million — a windfall that came after federal COVID-19 relief money flowed into Ohio, leading to a spike in state tax revenues. In February, the House passed its plan for spending $350 million. The Senate announced its project list on Monday.
