County OKs Delano Road study amendment, airport and visitor-center grant steps
Summary
Commissioners accepted a Delano Road traffic-safety study via amendment to an existing contract, approved an airport grant application to ODOT for apron and taxiway reconstruction, and authorized a visitor-center grant application to the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission (transcript references $730,000).
Ross County commissioners on Nov. 10 approved a package of infrastructure-related items: an amended contract to carry out a Delano Road traffic study, an airport grant application, and steps to pursue a visitor-center grant.
Planning staff requested a Delano Road traffic study. Speaker 3 moved to accept the study and amend the county’s existing contract with American Circle Point rather than issuing a new RFQ; Speaker 2 seconded the motion and it passed by voice vote.
The board approved a resolution to apply to the Ohio Department of Transportation for a grant to reconstruct the airport apron and taxiways, with work anticipated in 2026. The transcript records an application amount as $5,087 as presented in the meeting; the required paperwork to apply to ODOT was authorized.
Separately, county staff discussed an agreement with the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission for a visitor-center grant. Speaker 4 referenced an amount of $730,000 in the conversation and discussed coordination with Downtown Chillicothe over banner placement. The board authorized proceeding with the grant application as presented.
Why it matters: These steps advance traffic-safety analysis and capital projects that could affect travel corridors, airport operations and downtown visitor amenities.
What’s next: Staff will finalize contract amendments for the Delano Road study and complete grant applications and any required local review or matching documentation.
