Commissioners held a work session after lunch Monday to discuss distribution of the 2007 EDIT funds.

Although funding decisions will be made at the June 4 commissioners' meeting, group consensus was reached to award $1,000 to Carroll County Cares About Literacy, $1,500 to the county heritage, transportation and tourism group, $940.50 to the Troyer Group for a mussel study in conjunction with the proposed SR75 extension project, $48,639 to Carroll County EDC (with a three-year contract for like amounts) and $116,000 to the highway department for two additional duro-patchers.

A written request from Delphi Mayor Lee Hoard for funding for the Hoosier Heartland Industrial Coalition was denied in the proposed plan.

County auditor Beth Myers reported $107,098 EDIT funds were received from the state in May and the same amount is expected in November, making the annual total $214,196.

Myers reported $79,919 remained from unspent 2006 EDIT funds. That amount, added to 2007 proposed unallocated amount of $46,117, totals $119,036. The surplus money was proposed to be placed in a fund for future road construction.
