WOODSFIELD — The Monroe County Transportation Improvement District board held its first official meeting last week, discussing potential future projects including the possibility of constructing a joint entity fueling station in the county.
The county opted to join the TID, a program offered through the Ohio Department of Transportation, late last year. The program offers competitive funding opportunities for infrastructure improvements to streets, highways, parking facilities, freight rail tracks, bridges, tunnels and more. In 2020, the program awarded $4.5 million to district projects statewide.
Amy Zwick, county engineer and board member of the TID, said the board held its first meeting Tuesday to begin project assessments. One effort the board discussed is the possibility of constructing a multi-type fueling station for the county — a project that may be eligible to receive funding through the TID program.
