Roemer Announces Transportation Project in Richfield's Crossroads District

COLUMBUS—State Rep. Bill Roemer (R-Richfield) announced that $175,000 will be awarded to Richfield for the construction of a new road as part of the Transportation Improvement District Program.

Specifically, the funding will be used to construct a 600-foot road in Richfield’s Crossroad District, creating 65 new jobs and a capital investment of $18 million. Construction is scheduled to begin next year.

“As Ohio’s economy continues to grow, we need to make sure our roadways can keep up with the increase of traffic,” said Roemer. “This project will keep motorists safe, and support job growth in our area.”

In total, $5 million was awarded to 14 transportation projects across Ohio.
