"I'm proud to deliver funding for these projects supporting communities across the 22nd District," said Senator Romanchuk. "The funding secured in this year's Capital Budget will bring a significant economic impact throughout the region. I look forward to seeing the positive effect these investments will have on the lives of citizens in Richland, Ashland, and Medina Counties."

• Appleseed Community Mental Health Center - $210,000
• Hinckley Lake Facilities Renovation - $250,000
• Mansfield Playhouse Project - $1,000,000

The Capital Budget also directs over $600 million to new construction and facility upgrades at Ohio's public schools, nearly $400 million to projects run by the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health, and over $250 million towards supporting programs overseen by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
