Governor DeWine Announces $17.5 Million for  
Neighborhood Revitalization, Critical Infrastructure 

A total of $17.5 million in Neighborhood Revitalization and Critical Infrastructure grants will be awarded to 32 communities for projects such as upgraded water and sewer infrastructure, flood and drainage improvements, road and sidewalk reconstruction, and park enhancements.  

“Reliable water and sewer systems, safe streets, and strong neighborhoods create communities where families can live their very best lives,” said Governor DeWine. “The investments we’re making today build a better foundation for the future by helping our local partners make essential improvements.”

Of the total funding, 10 communities will receive a shared total of $7.5 million in Neighborhood Revitalization grants. 

Critical Infrastructure funding will be awarded to 22 communities, totaling $10 million, to assist with high-priority infrastructure improvements with community-wide impact. 

“No one understands the needs of their communities quite like our local leaders, but we know finding the resources to get the work done can sometimes be a challenge,” said Director Mihalik. “We’re proud to help turn those priorities into results that protect homes from flooding, improve essential services, and give Ohioans more opportunities to enjoy their neighborhoods.” 

These awards are funded through the federal Community Development Block Grant program.
