The Greene County Board of Commissioners convened on December 31, 2024, to discuss several key projects aimed at improving community infrastructure and public safety. Among the most significant decisions was the awarding of a bid for a home repair project at 46 West Xenia Street in Cedarville. The board approved Reliable Home Improvement's bid of $15,800, which will cover essential upgrades including gas line replacement, a new water heater, HVAC system, and chimney repairs. This project is part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Home Repair initiative, reflecting the county's commitment to enhancing living conditions for residents.

In addition to the home repair project, the commissioners approved a subgrant agreement with the Greene County Sheriff’s Office for the Safe Community Grant, amounting to $55,004. This funding will support local safety initiatives without requiring a financial match from the county, further bolstering community safety efforts.

The board also discussed infrastructure improvements, approving funding for the resurfacing of North Fairfield Road in Beavercreek. The county will contribute $106,037.73 towards this project, which is part of a larger initiative with a total cost of approximately $1 million, demonstrating the county's ongoing investment in local road maintenance.

Another notable decision was the approval of a $2,850.61 funding application for road improvements in Silver Creek Township, aimed at enhancing road conditions through gravel and cold patching. This project underscores the county's focus on maintaining and improving rural infrastructure.

The commissioners authorized the county engineer to proceed with a force account for 2025, allowing for more efficient management of road projects. They also approved a construction agreement with Fillmore Construction for a drain replacement project at the county engineer's truck garage, further addressing infrastructure needs.

In a move to enhance the Miami Valley Juvenile Rehabilitation Center, the board awarded a bid to AKA Construction for interior renovations, including restroom remodels and flooring updates, totaling $599,560. This investment aims to improve facilities for youth rehabilitation.

Lastly, the board authorized the re-advertisement for SLC 500 PLC upgrades after receiving no bids in the initial round. This decision reflects the county's proactive approach to ensuring that necessary upgrades are completed.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the Greene County Board of Commissioners' commitment to improving community infrastructure, enhancing public safety, and ensuring the well-being of its residents through strategic funding and project approvals.
