The State Capital Improvement Program (SCIP), better known as the State Issue 1 Program, the Small Governments Capital Improvement Program and the Local Transportation Improvement Program (LTIP) are beginning their Round 27 funding cycles. Through these programs, financial assistance for public infrastructure projects is available to subdivisions in District 15, which includes the following southern Ohio counties: Adams, Brown, Fayette, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton.
Counties, cities, villages, townships and certain special water and sewer districts may submit applications for funding. Eligible projects include the construction, repair or replacement of roads, bridges and culverts, along with water, wastewater and storm water systems. [[In-content Ad]]Financial assistance is available in the form of grants, no-interest loans and loan assistance (payment of interest on loans from other funding sources for a two-year period). The programs are competitive, as projects compete for funding with each other for a set allocation of funds. Each project is scored using an objective rating system, and funds are awarded on the basis of those scores.
Subdivisions applying for Round 27 funds should begin the planning process as soon as possible. The deadline to submit completed applications to the respective county is Oct. 5. For more information on the programs, contact your county engineer, your county commissioners or call Kim Reynolds at Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) at (740) 947-2853. Applications are available online at www.pwc.state.oh.us and should be completed electronically.
