The Ohio House of Representatives passed Substitute House Bill 2, the state’s two-year construction budget for capital projects throughout Ohio. State Representative Brian Stewart (R-Ashville) announced that the Capital Budget will make significant investments in local community projects.
Stewart secured $20 million to support the Ohio Center for Advanced Technology, aimed at fostering new opportunities to meet workforce needs. "The Ohio Center for Advanced Technology will be a critical asset to meet the workforce needs in Ohio’s growing semiconductor, biotech, electric vehicle, IT, and other advanced manufacturing industries," Stewart stated.
In addition to these local investments, the legislation includes statewide capital investments of $600 million for the School Building Program Assistance Fund, $400 million for the Public Works Commission Local Public Infrastructure and State Capital Improvement Program, and $397.6 million for higher education projects around the state.
Substitute House Bill 2 now awaits a signature from the Governor.
