COLUMBUS—State Representative Mark Johnson (R- Chillicothe) today announced that funding for a project at the Chillicothe Correctional Institution was approved by the Ohio State Controlling Board.

“I am extremely grateful for the continued dedication to bettering Chillicothe Correctional Institution,” Johnson said. “I always look forward to seeing the work that comes from funding like this, and I am confident this will be a success.”

In the 134th General Assembly, Johnson supported House Bill 597, the state capital budget, which is funding this assessment and master planning project. The Chillicothe Correctional Institution will use this funding for information gathering through interviews, facility assessment reviews, visioning and goal setting, developing criteria guidelines for programs and sustainability and determining priority, and developing a recommended plan for site utilization, space usage, recommended projects and phasing within the multi-biennium Capital Improvement Plan process.

The Chillicothe Correctional Institution is set to receive $139,940 to complete this project.

The Ohio State Controlling Board is the financial legislative oversight for capital and operating expenditures by state agencies. The next Controlling Board meeting is scheduled for Feb. 6.
