February 3, 2022, Infrastructure Funding Overview - Webinar
Ohio EPA is inviting all interested parties to a webinar on future water and wastewater infrastructure funding in Ohio, including funds being made available from the recent federal infrastructure bill. A historic amount of state and federal funding is now accessible to Ohio utilities, including funds from the state revolving fund programs, the H2Ohio initiative, and the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In the webinar, Ohio EPA will describe the current funding framework, and also discuss some preliminary information that is available on the federal infrastructure bill related to water and wastewater infrastructure funding.
