OPWC Releases 2025-2026 Public Agreements for Infrastructure Funding

In total, 601 projects were awarded to communities throughout Ohio

On July 1, 2025, the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) released project agreements for the most recent annual round of infrastructure funding.

These local government projects are selected by the state’s 19 district integrating committees based on a variety of factors including health and safety, age and condition and number of users. In addition, the committees send unfunded projects belonging to communities of 5,000 or less in population to compete in the OPWC Small Government Program.

In total, 601 projects were awarded to communities in all Ohio’s 88 counties for roads ($201.7 million), bridges and culverts ($26.9 million), water supply ($48.1 million), wastewater ($38.1 million) and stormwater ($7.8 million).

"We are pleased to announce another round of grants and loans awarded to Ohio's local governments for critical infrastructure," said Linda Bailiff, the OPWC director. "We thank the district committees for their work to bring necessary funding to communities ensuring public health and safety and improving the economic welfare and quality of life of Ohioans."
