Project Name: GEA WILSON MILLS RD
Sponsor: Geauga County Engineer
Estimated Total Cost: $2,000,000
Proposed Source of Federal Funds: NOACA

History/Background: The Geauga County Engineer sponsored a roadway rehabilitation project along Washington Street, from SR-306 to Bainbridge Road, in Bainbridge Township and Auburn Township.  This project was programmed in the NOACA SFY 2021 - 2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) with a total cost of $1,000,000, including $800,000 of NOACA funding. Although this project was programmed in the TIP with NOACA funding, the project was also a good candidate for a State of Ohio Earmark program. As such, the Geauga County Engineer and NOACA supported an application to that program. In March of 2023, NOACA announced the Geauga County Engineer was successful in getting approved for a Federal Earmark for Washington Street. The Geauga County Engineer requested that the $800,000 in NOACA funding, originally programmed for Washington Street, be applied to a separate federal-aid eligible high priority project in Geauga County.

Proposed Project: The proposed project involves rehabilitation along Wilson Mills Road, from SR-306 to Thwing Road, in Chester Township and Munson Township (location map). This work will include full width pavement planning, base repair and rehabilitation, curb and curb inlet rehabilitation as needed and two-course asphalt overlay. The project’s estimated total cost, provided by the sponsor, is $2,000,000, to be funded with $800,000 in NOACA funds and $1,800,000 in local funds.
