CLEVELAND — Diving deeper into the state’s proposed spending plan, hundreds of projects stand to get significant funding.

What You Need To Know

  • Hamilton County – Convention Center District Development receiving $46 million

  • Warren County - Cincinnati Open Tennis Tournament receiving $27.5 million 

  • Cuyahoga County – Northcoast Connector receiving $20 million

In addition to the usual capital budget, each chamber is getting an additional $350 million to dole out.

And now we’re getting a clearer picture of where the senate’s priorities lie.

It’s been months since the House came up with its plan for how to use the one-time strategic community investment fund, and now the Senate is following suit.

When you put the two proposals together, there’s a lot of cash on the table.

The project that stands to gain the most is the Hamilton County Convention Center District Development, which could get a total of $46 million from the two chambers.

The Cincinnati Open Tennis tournament, which announced last fall that it’s staying in Warren County, would get more than $27 million.

With the Ohio Center for Advance Technologies in Franklin County and the Northcoast Connector project in Cuyahoga County getting $20 million each.

Cleveland City Council member, Kerry McCormack, who represents the district where the Northcoast Connector project is being designed, said they’re extremely excited and appreciative of the work of the House and Senate securing the funding. He said it’s important to connect the people to the waterfront. 

“The more and more work we do to create a vibrant city where companies want to locate, where people want to move to, that helps the state overall so there’s no doubt that this type of infrastructure is going to be a boom not only to Cleveland, but to the entire Ohio economy,” McCormack said.

Other entities slated to receive more than $10 million include the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, UC Health, Lima Veterans Memorial Hall and the Downtown Columbus Capital Line.
