According to a 218-page financial report released by Beaver County Controller David Rossi’s office, the county’s financial position improved in 2016.

The document provides a look at actual — as opposed to budgeted — figures for the year.
Last week, county Financial Administrator Ricardo Luckow told the commissioners the report showed the county ended 2016 with an unassigned general-fund balance of about $230,000 — a drastic improvement from 2015, when that balance was negative $3.8 million.
