The disparate jurisdictions consisting of Cuyahoga County and the cities of Cleveland, Euclid, Lakewood, Parma, and Garfield Heights have agreed to share this Fiscal Year 2010 Justice Assistance Grant award. The city of Cleveland will serve as the fiscal agent. Each jurisdiction's allocation will be used for activities and projects that will provide meaningful and measurable outcomes consistent with the goals of the JAG program.
