Governor DeWine Awards $5 Million for
Local Jail Projects
|
|
(COLUMBUS, Ohio) –
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced today that he is providing state
assistance to six county jails in Ohio for targeted safety,
security, and operational projects.
Approximately $5 million has been awarded to the following jails
through the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction’s (ODRC)
Bureau of Adult Detention:
Darke County - $1.8 million for security upgrades
Ross County - $1.6 million for security upgrades
Monroe County - $329,000 for a sewer system project
Erie County - $150,000 for a sewer system project
Highland County - $179,000 for security upgrades
Pickaway County - $902,000 for a sewer system project
“Ohio is making significant investments in the safety and overall
operations of our jails to help them better meet the demands of our
criminal justice system,” said Governor DeWine. "These jail
improvements will help alleviate more significant issues in the
future and help ensure these facilities are operating safely.”
Today's grant awards are part of $50 million allocated by the
legislature at Governor DeWine's request for local jail renovations
in Senate Bill 310 of 133rd Ohio General Assembly. Governor DeWine
awarded $45 million to six jails last year for major construction
projects, and the remaining $5 million in funding was reserved for
smaller-scale, immediate safety concerns.
Governor DeWine has also partnered with the Ohio General Assembly
on additional grant funding for Ohio jails that will be awarded
through the current capital budget. House Bill 687, which was passed
by the 134th General Assembly and signed by Governor DeWine this
summer, provides another $51 million in grant funding for jail
capital projects. The application period for this new round of grant
money will open in coming weeks. |
