The Mayors\u2019 Partnership for Progress is thanking the Ohio General Assembly for their support of House Bill 377, which enacts Governor DeWine\u2019s proposed Ohio BUILDS (Broadband, Utilities, and Infrastructure for Local Development Success) investment in Appalachian Ohio.<\/p>\n

We are extremely grateful for Governor DeWine\u2019s leadership, and also for our lawmaker\u2019s support in his proposal. Our Appalachian communities are thrilled to begin initiating transformational yet sustainable change in our communities, the lives of our children and families, and the economic health of our businesses.<\/p>\n

We are grateful for Governor DeWine\u2019s ongoing commitment to partnering with Ohio\u2019s local communities to build a stronger Ohio. These funds are a reflection of the administration\u2019s commitment to bettering our communities through locally driven projects. By investing in our communities, improving community health, and preparing our workforce, this bill will transform our region and economy. We look forward to working with the Ohio Department of Development, the Governor\u2019s Office of Appalachia, and the Local Development Districts to realize the full potential of the states investment over the next several years.<\/p>\n
