House Committee Passes Bill to Block Interchange Construction

COLUMBUS, OH – State Rep. Melanie Miller (R-City of Ashland) has issued the following statement on the passage of Amended Senate Bill 155, which would repeal a provision of the transportation budget requiring the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to construct certain interstate interchanges:

“This is a significant step forward for the Brunswick community and a victory for the many residents who have worked tirelessly to make their voices heard in the district and in Columbus about the detrimental impact of this interchange. I'd like to thank my fellow committee members for their unanimous support of this legislation. This vote reflects the strong, shared commitment to addressing these concerns, and after years of debate, we are one step closer to a solution. I am optimistic about seeing this bill pass the House before the end of this General Assembly.”

Senate Bill 155 now moves to the House floor for a vote.
