State Senator Susan Manchester announced that millions of dollars have been secured for community projects throughout Ohio’s 12th Senate District as part of the state’s biennial Capital Budget.

The funding will support critical improvements and investments across all seven counties in the district, helping strengthen local communities, expand educational opportunities, improve public facilities, and support workforce development initiatives.

“These investments reflect the priorities of the people and communities I represent,” said Senator Manchester. “From workforce training and education to community facilities and local infrastructure, this funding will help create opportunities for residents today while preparing our region for future growth.”

The Capital Budget is one of the state’s most important tools for investing in long-term community needs.
