COLUMBUS—State Senator Andrew Brenner (R-Delaware) announced the inclusion of more than $5.6 million in local projects throughout the 19th Senate District as part of Senate Bill 450, Ohio's Capital Budget.

"These are real investments in the communities that families use every day," said Senator Brenner. "Whether it's improving fairgrounds, expanding recreational opportunities, supporting agriculture, restoring local landmarks, or creating new spaces for children and families, this funding will leave a lasting impact on our region."

Ohio's Capital Budget is passed every two years and provides funding for public infrastructure, schools, higher education institutions, parks cultural assets, and community projects throughout the state.

"I'm grateful for their partnership and proud to help deliver state resources back to the taxpayers and communities that make Ohio strong."
