If the State of Ohio’s $2.1 billion capital improvements budget for FY 2021-22 is passed, which began hearings this week after being introduced as an amendment during a Senate Bill 310 conference committee meeting, it will bring funding to several deserving projects around Delaware County.

Usually passed in the spring, this year’s budget bill was delayed until the fall. The largest ticket item in this year’s bill is $16 million for a new soccer stadium for FC Cincinnati.

The outlay for all projects in the county included in the bill totals $2,170,000.

Local projects funded:

  • Delaware County Fair Grandstands — $500,000
  • Sunbury Ohio to Erie Trail Design and Construction — $450,000
  • Home Road Trail Extension — $200,000
  • Freeman Road Park Project — $115,000
  • Central Avenue Pedestrian and Bike Trail — $100,000
  • Concord Township Park Redevelopment Plan — $100,000
  • Barn at Stratford Roof Project — $300,000
  • Historic Township Hall Relocation and Restoration — $180,000
  • Arts Castle Roof Skylight Project — $150,000
  • Muirfield Dr. Kinetic Arts Project — $75,000
