The first wave of stimulus dollars was released in Ohio last week prompting some confusion over the complex American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
A Celina man appealing a decision to allow a bed and breakfast on Main Street withdrew his appeal on Monday night, asking that two conditions be met.
