City pursues Ohio Public Works Commission grant for Solar Road and Metro Court sewer work

The council heard that engineering has identified phase two wastewater improvements on Solar Road and Metro Court as a strong candidate for an Ohio Public Works Commission grant. The committee chair said an infrastructure and capital improvement committee meeting will be scheduled, with a tentative meeting time next Thursday at 5:00, to prepare for the application process.

The committee flagged the OPWC opportunity as a likely funding route for the sewer work and emphasized member availability and coordination with city staff. No formal motion or application was recorded during the meeting; councilmembers and staff will meet to develop the grant request and timelines. The council did not set a deadline for submission during the session.
