Like @GovMikeDeWine said this past week, the most beautiful place to be in October is along the Ohio River.   Celebrating these projects with the communities and people who had the guts to dream big and lead the way in transforming the places they love really is a highlight, and one that never gets old!

Ohio's Appalachian Community Grant Program, which has invested $500 million into Ohio's 32 Appalachian counties, is truly making a difference. Today, I enjoyed seeing how Ashtabula and Sardis used their grants to increase quality of life in the region, attract more visitors, and boost the economy. ➡️ bit.ly/4hXg1VF
