COLUMBUS — The Village of Killbuck will receive $339,000 from the state to support the North Main Business Corridor.
The funds are part of more than $11.7 million announced by the Ohio Department of Development on June 8. More than $9 million has been designated to improve community infrastructure through the Roadwork Development Grant (629) Program, according to the community announcement.
The grant program provides funding to local governments for public road improvements tied to economic development projects. It also supports employers by helping create or retain jobs.
The village of Killbuck in Holmes County will use the money on road work that consists of the elevation, reconstruction, and repaving of approximately 2,500 linear feet of North Main Street, beginning at South Water Street and continuing to the northeast.
According to the announcement, the elevation of the new roadway will alleviate frequent flooding in the area, which impedes access to the nearby Sperry & Rice and Crow Works manufacturing facilities. The project will improve accessibility, traffic flow, and overall safety in the area.
For more information about how to apply and to find out if a project is eligible, visit the Roadwork Development Grant (629) program website.
