AUSTINTOWN — Mahoning County Engineer Patrick Ginnetti made the first of many stops this week on his campaign to ensure roads and bridges get the attention they need.

He gave a presentation on Mahoning County’s 0.25-percent sales tax before the Austintown Township Board of Trustees during this week’s regular meeting at the Austintown Senior Center.

“We’re in our third year of the sales tax, and it will be on the May primary ballot for renewal,” Ginnetti said. (The Vindicator incorrectly reported earlier this week that the issue would be on the November ballot.)

Several Logan County officials have been elected to leadership positions within statewide professional associations, reflecting the county’s active role in shaping policy and best practices across Ohio.

The CEAO works to unify its members in providing the highest quality transportation, drainage, surveying, and land record-keeping services throughout the state.

ZANESVILLE, Ohio – With the Interstate 70 reconstruction grabbing all the attention, there are several county road and bridge projects slated for 2026.

Muskingum County Engineer Mark Eicher listed some of the major transportation tasks that the county has slated for later in the year.

“For 2026 we have a little over 17 miles of paving, new overlays. It’ll be typically an inch-and-a-half overlay over top of the  existing asphalt. That’s equivalent to about $2 million dollars worth of projects right there. We have two bridges that we are bidding out, that will be… contractors will be doing. One’s the First Street Bridge in Roseville, the other is right up here at Kopchak,” Eicher said.

Scioto County Engineer Darren LeBrun announced on Wednesday that the Engineer’s Office has been awarded nearly $2.8 million in transportation grant funding to improve safety and infrastructure across the county.

This project includes paving, guardrail upgrades, intersection safety improvements, new signage, pavement markings and drainage work aimed at reducing crash risk and improving driving conditions.
