note
[verified] Three Hancock County brownfield awards totalling $999,998 were announced in Round 11 on 2026-05-13: $663,998 to remediate the former Lincoln Elementary School in Findlay, $238,000 to assess an abandoned Tiffin Avenue gas station, and $98,000 to the county for a BUSTR assessment at a former Gas America station in Bluffton. Two of the three are petroleum underground-storage-tank sites; the third is asbestos in a vacant school.
⚠ Gaps in the record
- Three awards to TWO different recipients. Two are the City of Findlay; the Bluffton Former Gas America assessment is awarded to the HANCOCK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OFFICE, not the City. `amount_usd` below is the county-wide Round 11 total; the per-project rows are the awards.
- This packet is the AWARD-DESCRIPTION document distributed with the announcement. It is not a grant agreement and carries no agreement number, execution date, or disbursement terms; none are asserted here.
- The job figures are the packet's own forward-looking expectations for each redevelopment ("expected to create 24 jobs, retain 28 positions"), not outcomes. They are recorded as stated projections, not as employment on the record.
- Hancock County's presence in Rounds 4-10 of this program is [open] — not researched here. The "Round 11" framing below says nothing about whether the county was awarded in earlier rounds.
