While local legislators oppose one another on the $1.7 trillion 2023 federal omnibus spending bill, one agency in the county is slated to receive funding now that President Joe Biden has signed it into law.

Butler County Community College will receive $500,000 to support the Shaffer School of Nursing and Allied Health, which will be relocated to the new Victor K. Phillips Nursing and Allied Health Building under construction.

The funds would be used to purchase equipment and technology that would furnish classrooms, laboratories and simulation labs, according to the bill.
