As the Auglaize County Commissioners wrap up 2022, they are looking a head to starting some projects that they have been working on this past year. Thanks to a $900,000 grant from the State of Ohio, Auglaize County was able to remove some blighted structures so the land can be used for redevelopment. Plus, they have been getting some things in place to start a renovation project at the county jail. The roughly $5 million project will add more bed space to the facility, especially on the women’s side of the jail.
