The Washington County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Nov. 20 to adopt a resolution accepting amounts and rates certified by the Budget Commission and authorizing the necessary tax levies to be certified to the County Auditor for fiscal year 2026.
The board established a new fund (4561 T-32 BRIDGE REHAB) in the Auditor’s bookkeeping for the Township Road 32 Bridge Replacement; the county said the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will provide federal funds up to 100% of eligible costs and estimated the project at $723,270.
