Lt. Governor Husted announces the launch
of the application for IMAP at Global Lynx, Inc., an IT training
provider in Central Ohio.
On Monday, Lt. Governor Jon Husted visited Global Lynx Inc. in
Columbus for a roundtable discussion with Individual Microcredential
Assistance Program (IMAP) participants. The program helps Ohioans
who are low income, partially unemployed, or totally unemployed
participate in a training program to receive a credential at no
cost.
“IMAP helps individuals earn new skills that will lead to a career
with more job security and higher pay, while at the same time
providing Ohio businesses access to the new talent they need to
compete,” said Lt. Governor Husted. “Today, we launched a second
round of IMAP in addition to an updated website, making it easier to
navigate the program and connect with a training provider to earn a
technology-focused credential at no cost.”

Ohio BUILDS Water Infrastructure Grant
On Tuesday, Governor Mike DeWine and First Lady Fran DeWine visited
South Charleston and Wilmington, respectively, where they announced
the second round of Ohio BUILDS water infrastructure grants.
Last week, grants totaling more than $93 million were announced for
infrastructure projects impacting 60 counties. Tuesday's
announcement included projects in the 28 Ohio counties that did not
receive funding in the first round.
"It's astonishing to me that there are communities in Ohio today
where it's difficult to get clean water. For our people to thrive
and for our communities to grow, clean water and reliable
infrastructure are an absolute must," said Governor DeWine. "There
is a tremendous need for water infrastructure upgrades all over our
state, and through Ohio BUILDS, we're funding projects that will be
life-changing in some communities."
A third round of grant recipients will be announced in the future.

DEATHS DATA
The Ohio Department of Health reported that 1,264 Ohioans died of
COVID-19 in October. The number may continue to increase as reports
are received. To put this in perspective the number of individuals
who died of COVID-19 was the sixth highest during the month of
October than at any other point in the pandemic.
In October, at least 173 of these deaths occurred amongst people in
their 50s. At least 78 of these deaths occurred amongst people in
their 40s–and at least 28 of these deaths occurred amongst people in
their 30s.
On average there are more than 41 Ohioans dying each day from
COVID.
Deaths by Age Group
On Friday, Governor DeWine announced his five appointments to the
OneOhio Recovery Foundation board and his two appointments to the
Foundation’s expert panel. The Foundation will soon be established
to distribute a portion of the settlement funds from the drug
manufacturers and distributors of opioids to communities in Ohio.
“Establishing the OneOhio Recovery Foundation is the next step in
enhancing Ohio’s prevention, treatment, and recovery support
services. The investments made by the Foundation will create an
opportunity for local communities to plan for and sustain efforts
that address the ever-evolving drug epidemic,” said Governor DeWine.
“There is not one part of the state that hasn’t been impacted by the
opioid crisis, and this is critical to beginning the healing
process.”
