Rep. Sigrist: Issue 2 Will Create Jobs, Fix Countless Community Projects

COLUMBUS – State Rep. Mark Sigrist (D-Grove City) today released the following statement concerning Issue 2’s resounding passage by Ohio’s voters:

“With the rapid growth in my district, building infrastructure is key. There are many districts in the state that will benefit from the passage of Issue 2,” said Rep. Sigrist.

With Issue 2's approval, the State Capital Improvement Program will create tens of thousands of jobs and issue general obligation bonds up to $250 million annually, an increase from the current $200 million per year. Issue 2 will also help local governments with critical infrastructure projects. Ohioans first voted for the program as a lawmaker-backed constitutional amendment in 1987 and have since renewed it four times.
