State Representative Ty Moore (R-Caldwell) today voted in support of Ohio’s Capital Budget bill, a two-year capital improvements budget for state and community projects throughout the state totaling nearly $4 billion.

The bill provides appropriations for state infrastructure needs, including renovations to state offices, new construction for mental health facilities, land acquisition, and equipment. The plan also includes just over $200 million for community projects, which are projects that come from outside of state agencies and have a benefit or nexus to the state.

All 88 counties will receive funding for community projects.

Rep. Moore helped secure investments for the following community projects in District 95:

Harrison County:

$350,000, for Harrison County Fairground Improvements
$50,000 for improvements to the Village of Cadiz

Morgan County:

$200,000 for the Morgan County Jail Fire Safety and Booking Area
$150,000 to restore the Twin City Opera House
$80,000 to make improvements to the Friendship Park & Community Center

$150,000 for the Cambridge Area YMCA Aquatics Center
$121,000 to make improvements to the Strand Theatre

“I’m thrilled that these projects will get the funding they need to help better support our community,” said Moore. “Investing in the community and the places that people bring people together are what make our district stronger.”

Through this bill, Ohio House Republicans prioritized investing in Ohio’s future by expanding access to education and healthcare through new facilities or upgrades to existing ones, improving parks and roadways to better connect communities, and strengthening local facilities across the state by providing necessary funding for enhancements.

This bill now heads to the Governor for consideration.
