Montgomery County authorizes OPWC grant applications, advances water-main replacement plan
Summary
The county authorized applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission for transportation and capital grants and listed a $920,000 grant/loan request for the Barney & Russell water main replacement; commissioners placed the measures on the meeting agenda for consideration.
The Montgomery County Board of County Commissioners authorized county engineers to prepare and submit applications to the Ohio Public Works Commission’s State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP) or the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) for round 2026–2027, a procedural step that makes projects eligible for state capital funding.
The agenda item (Resolution 26-1219) was introduced by the Board as part of the consent slate. Separately, the Board authorized Environmental Services to pursue a grant/loan of $920,000 for Project No. 130062-13, the Barney & Russell water main replacement (Resolution 26-1234). The water-main authorization specifies estimated funding needs and directs staff to pursue OPWC application and related contracts where required.
Why it matters: OPWC awards fund local infrastructure projects that counties and townships often can’t fully cover from operating budgets. County officials also signaled that county staff should use state and federal funding sources—together with local matches or loans—to advance water, sewer and road projects in smaller jurisdictions.
