COLUMBUS – Bob Cupp, Allen County State Representative and Ohio House Speaker (R-Lima) today announced the approval of significant funding for Allen County roadwork improvements and state building renovations. The two projects were approved today by the State Controlling Board. “I am pleased that these projects in Allen County can proceed with the release of these funds,” Cupp said. “These initiatives will provide additional development and jobs for the region, which has consistently been a focus through legislation in the House.”

The Ohio State Controlling Board issued the money to assist in the overall security at the campus, that from Speaker of the House Bob Cupp. The money stems from Senate Bill 310 which was the state's 2020 capital budget. Campus security says the money will be used to install electronic locking systems in 3 of their buildings.
