Rep. Lawson-Rowe Announces $75K for Hamilton Township Park Renovation

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Meredith Lawson-Rowe (D-Reynoldsburg) today announced that Hamilton Township will receive a $75,000 grant for the renovation of its local park, funded through the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).

“I’m thrilled to see Hamilton Township benefit from this funding, which will help improve recreational opportunities for our community,” said Rep. Lawson-Rowe. “This investment will create a safer and more welcoming space for families to enjoy for years to come.”
