Rep. Roemer Champions District 31 Projects, Votes in Support of Capital Budget Bill

State Representative Bill Roemer (R-Richfield) today voted in support of Ohio’s Capital Budget bill, a two-year capital improvements budget for state and community projects throughout Ohio 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. Roemer’s support was critical in securing state funding for the following community projects:

$900,000 to make improvements to the Blossom Music Center 
$400,000 for the Oxbow Meadow Project in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park
$200,000 to restore the Hale Farm & Village infrastructure
$100,000 for improvements to Copley Township Park
$50,000 for the Richfield Joint Recreation Project
 

“Each of these projects will benefit the constituents in Ohio’s 31st House District through greater access to nature and entertainment,” said Roemer.

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.
