In spite of the deadlock at the Ohio Statehouse, lawmakers continue to advance Ohio’s 2025-2026 Capital Budget with plans to approve the measure next week. The capital budget, known as House Bill 629 and Senate Bill 292, appropriates $4 billion in bond funds to construct improvements at public institutions including universities, hospitals, parks and community projects. The legislation funds hundreds of projects statewide and county-by-county.

The Ohio House and Senate are simultaneously advancing a one-time spending package known at Senate Bill 288 to fund $700 million in community projects. 6/18/2024
