The Ohio House of Representatives passed Substitute House Bill 2 on Wednesday, approving the state's two-year construction budget for capital projects. The Capital Budget will invest significantly in local community projects, according to State Rep. Rodney Creech (R-West Alexandria).
Creech secured several investments aimed at benefiting Preble County and its surrounding communities:
- $700,000 to modernize the Preble County Fairgrounds.
- $250,000 to upgrade City of Eaton Community Park.
- $240,000 to restore the Preble County Historical Society’s historic barn and expand the exhibit hall.
- $125,000 to enhance Village of West Elkton playground.
- $50,000 to reconstruct the Preble Gratis Well.
“Preble County has so much to offer,” said Creech. “I look forward to seeing the transformational impact these projects have on the 40th House District.”
In addition to local investments, the legislation includes statewide capital investments:
- $600 million for the School Building Program Assistance Fund.
- $400 million for the Public Works Commission Local Public Infrastructure and State Capital Improvement Program.
- $397.6 million for higher education projects around the state.
Substitute House Bill 2 now awaits a signature from the Governor.
