Sherwood awarded $750,000 state grant for South Harrison Street improvements
Summary
The village won a $750,000 neighborhood revitalization grant to rebuild curbs, gutters and storm sewers, widen South Harrison Street, repair manholes and install sidewalks; an environmental review must be completed before funds are released and the project will go to bid in early 2026.
Sherwood Village officials announced on Nov. 19 that the village has been approved to receive $750,000 in state neighborhood revitalization and critical infrastructure funds for the South Harrison Street Project.
The grant will pay to replace curbs, gutters and storm sewers, widen the roadway, repair manholes and parking areas, and install new sidewalks, Administrator and Fiscal Officer Sherri Ramey told the council. Ramey said the $750,000 award is $250,000 more than the grant the village received for the North Harrison Street Project.
Ramey said an environmental review must be completed before the money is released; once the review is secured, the village expects to put the project out to bid in early 2026 with construction planned to begin in spring 2026. Mayor Dave Weaner commended everyone involved in gathering signatures and completing the application process that led to the award.
The announcement was presented with copies of the Developmental Release Guidelines for the $25,000,000 residential economic development district program and a news release noting Gov. Mike DeWine's broader funding announcement; Ramey said the grant qualifies Sherwood for these neighborhood revitalization funds. The council did not take further action on the project at the Nov. 19 meeting beyond acknowledging the award and the need for the environmental review.
The next procedural step is completion of the environmental review and then issuance of bid documents, according to Ramey.
