Barhorst Secures $3 Million for Logan County, $24 Million for TRC in Capital Budget

COLUMBUS—The Ohio House of Representatives today passed Substitute House Bill 2, the state’s two-year construction budget for capital projects throughout the state. The Capital Budget will make historic investments in local community projects, announced State Rep. Tim Barhorst (R-Fort Loramie). 

Barhorst secured the following capital investments for local projects that will positively impact Logan County:

• Calvary Christian Schools – $250,000
• Logan County Sewer District Flat Branch Upgrades – $1,500,000
• Columbus Street Bridge Repair – $1,265,000
• Piatt Castle - $44,000

“The capital budget is all about bringing state taxpayer dollars back to the area,” said Barhorst. “The investments made within Logan County, the district and across Ohio will benefit our communities for generations to come.”

In addition to these community projects, this legislation also includes a statewide investment of $24 million to Transportation Research Center Inc. using one-time funds. 

“TRC is a critical asset for the 85th District and the robust automotive industry throughout our great state,” said Barhorst. “These funds will ensure TRC will remain on the forefront of transportation and mobility research.”

Substitute House Bill 2 awaits a signature from the Governor.
