Lucas County commissioners approve $335,000 two‑stage ditch restoration project funded by H2Ohio grant
Summary
The Lucas County Board of County Commissioners approved plans and a $335,000 cost estimate for a two‑stage restoration of NACTRAB and Taylor ditches, staff said an H2Ohio grant will cover the projected cost.
The Lucas County Board of County Commissioners approved plans, specifications and a $335,000 cost estimate for the NACTRAB Ditch and Taylor Ditch two‑stage restoration project. Kelly Decker, who presented the item, told the board the county “received an H2Ohio grant that should cover 100% of our $335,000 projected expense.”
The project, presented as an engineered two‑stage ditch restoration, was described by Decker as a grant‑funded capital work item; staff did not list a construction start date during the meeting. The chair moved to approve the plans and the clerk performed a roll call; commissioners voted to carry the motion.
Restoration of two‑stage ditches is typically undertaken to reduce erosion and improve stormwater conveyance; county staff framed the work as a funded capital improvement with no immediate county general‑fund expenditure required. The board did not discuss a construction timetable at the meeting.
The motion passed by roll call and the project will proceed to the next administrative steps for implementation and procurement.
