Funding is Part of $4.2 Billion Capital Budget Process
June 26, 2024
Bill Reineke News
 

COLUMBUS—State Senator Bill Reineke (R-Tiffin) announced the investment of $32,770,478 to support meaningful projects that will benefit our local communities and residents for years to come. These dollars were included in House Bill 2, the Capital Budget bill, which passed out of the Senate today.

"The Capital Budget Process allows us to invest in our communities and other critical needs throughout the state, and Senate District 26 will reap many benefits as a result of the funding secured," Reineke said. "I strongly advocated for each project because I believe they were all exceptional. The projects funded will make a positive impact on our families, businesses, and neighborhoods."

The legislature generally approves a Capital Budget every two years, funding improvements to public services and facilities across the state, including schools, infrastructure, and mental health and addiction facilities. House Bill 2 includes $600 million for new construction and facility upgrades at Ohio's public schools and $575 million for local infrastructure projects such as roads and water and sewer projects.

In addition to the traditional capital budget, the One-Time Strategic Community Investment Fund (OTSCIF) set aside $700 million as another source of funding. This money allowed communities and organizations to apply for help with projects that might not have qualified as part of the state's traditional Capital Budget that happens every two years.
