Sabina to get $300K
for storm sewer improvements
SABINA — The Village of Sabina and residents will benefit from a $300,000 Community Development Critical Infrastructure grant awarded by the Ohio Development Services Agency.
The funds will be used to install 1,723 linear feet of storm sewer, 14 catch basins and seven manholes in the Clinton County village. The improvements also include replacing a failed railroad crossing.
The project will benefit 2,327 people, according to a media release from the Ohio Development Services Agency.
The Ohio Development Services Agency announced grants this week totaling more than $11.6 million through the Community Development Critical Infrastructure, Downtown Revitalization and Neighborhood Revitalization Competitive Set-Aside programs.
Thirty-three communities in Ohio, including Sabina, will receive grants to revitalize neighborhoods and downtown business districts. The grants will improve streets, sidewalks, bridges, public facilities, and infrastructure as well as rehabilitate buildings in a community’s central business district.
“Communities with strong business districts and neighborhoods are better positioned for growth,” said David Goodman, director of the Ohio Development Services Agency.
