The Ohio House of Representatives has passed Substitute House Bill 2, the state’s two-year construction budget for capital projects, as announced by State Rep. Don Jones (R-Freeport).
Jones secured several capital investments for Guernsey County, including $1 million to improve the Route 40 East Sewer, $250,000 to revitalize the Old Washington Community Volunteer Fire Department Station, and $140,000 to rehabilitate Byesville Park.
“These projects will make a large impact on our first responders and families in the area,” said Jones. “I am proud to get these investments across the finish line.”
In addition to local investments, the legislation includes statewide capital investments such as $600 million for the School Building Program Assistance Fund, $400 million for the Public Works Commission Local Public Infrastructure and State Capital Improvement Program, and $397.6 million for higher education projects.
Substitute House Bill 2 now awaits a signature from the Governor.
