Ohio community project funding helps local governments and nonprofits build the facilities their communities need. For 30 years, the Montrose Group has won that funding for clients before the state — and 2026 has continued the streak. The latest wins came through the state’s Capital Budget Community Project Fund and the Ohio Department of Transportation’s TID program.
Inside Ohio community project funding
Ohio’s most recent biennial capital improvements budget totals roughly $3.7 billion. This plan funds new and renovated K-12 schools, higher education facilities, state parks, and behavioral health hospitals. Within that total, about $208 million is set aside for Ohio community project funding across the state.
What the fund covers
The fund supports three main categories:
- Cultural and recreation sites: community centers, zoos, theaters, museums, historical sites, and local parks.
- Sports and public spaces: public spaces, local trails, and sports complexes.
- Local initiatives: projects that help local governments and nonprofits improve regional public infrastructure.

So what makes the difference? The firm pairs a clear understanding of state priorities with long-standing trust at the Statehouse. As a result, clients get projects financed that might otherwise stall.
The firm has long advocated for local, state, and federal project financing from a wide range of sources. If you need help with project financing, contact Tim Biggam at tbiggam@montrosegroupllc.com.
