Lang Announces Investment In Butler County

COLUMBUS —State Senator George Lang (R-West Chester) announces a workforce housing investment made by the Ohio Department of Development for a project in Butler County.

The Ohio Department of Development announced more than $9 million in grants will be awarded to support the creation of workforce housing in five counties. As part of this initiative, the City of Hamilton was selected to receive a $2.5 million grant to support the building of 100 new homes. Of the 100 new units, 10 will be built in 2026 and sold to low-to-moderate-income families.

"The people of Butler County deserve a chance at the American Dream; This investment will make a key tenant of that dream—home ownership—more possible for 100 families," said Senator Lang. "I'm thankful to the Department of Development for recognizing the importance of investing in our communities."

The funding for these grants comes from the Residential Economic Development District (REDD) program, which was created as part of the 2026-2027 State Operating Budget to help communities expand housing opportunities close to major economic development projects.
