Ohio Voters Greenlight $2.5 Billion Boost for Local Infrastructure

Ohio voters have overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure authorizing $2.5 billion in state bonds over the next decade to fund local infrastructure projects. The renewed State Capital Improvement Program will provide interest-free loans and grants to local governments for roads, bridges, and other critical improvements. This program, first established in 1987, has been a key source of funding for Ohio's infrastructure needs. The approval ensures continued investment in maintaining and upgrading essential public works across the state. The measure passed with broad support, reflecting strong public backing for infrastructure investment.
