The Logan County Board of Commissioners has officially voted to support State Issue 2, which will appear on the May 6 ballot, urging residents to vote in favor of renewing the State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP).
This long-standing program provides critical funding for local infrastructure projects, including roads, bridges, water systems, and wastewater treatment facilities—without raising taxes.
Since its creation in 1987, SCIP has provided over $7 billion in grants and low-interest loans to local governments in all 88 Ohio counties.
These funds help ensure that communities can maintain safe roadways, upgrade aging infrastructure, and support economic development without relying solely on local tax dollars.
“The State Capital Improvement Program is a lifeline for Ohio’s counties, including Logan County,” said Commissioner Michael E. Yoder. “Renewing this program means continuing to invest in the roads, bridges, and water systems that our residents rely on every day. This funding has helped improve safety, attract business, and protect public health—without raising taxes.”
The current SCIP authorization is set to expire on July 1, 2025.
A YES vote on Issue 2 would renew the program, preventing a funding gap that could delay crucial infrastructure projects across Ohio.
Voters have overwhelmingly renewed this program three times in the past, recognizing its impact on local communities.
In Logan County, SCIP has funded projects ensuring that residents, businesses, and first responders have access to safe and reliable infrastructure.
The Logan County Board of Commissioners joins the Strong Ohio Communities coalition in advocating for a YES vote on May 6.
