The Ohio Department of Development announced that more than 1,000 vacant, dilapidated buildings will be demolished to make room for new economic development in nine Ohio counties. 

The department is awarding $67.3 million in funding from the Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program.

In our region, Logan County was awarded just over $701,000 to demolish multiple properties. 

The Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program is funded by the Ohio General Assembly as part of the current operating budget.  

All of Ohio’s 88 counties were eligible for at least $500,000, with the remaining funds awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.  

Additional grant recipients will be announced in the coming months.
