Capital Budget

The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce is again working with our region’s legislators to identify community related projects in Lucas, Wood, and Fulton counties for possible inclusion in the upcoming state fiscal year 2027-2028 capital budget bill. 

Questions that you should consider about your proposed project:
  • Is the project eligible for bonding by the State of Ohio;
  • Does the project have a connection to a state agency;
  • Are the requested funds being used for construction and not operational expenses;
  • What is the economic development impact on the Toledo region; and
  • What kind of local support is present for the project, including public/private partnerships?
​
It is important that you also work with your state representative (https://ohiohouse.gov/) and state senator ( https://ohiosenate.gov/members/district-map) throughout the process. Legislators make the final decision about which projects and associated funding that will be included in the legislation.

To learn more about submitting a project for consideration, please click on the links to the left and complete and return the Capital Budget Questionnaire by 4:00 p.m. on November 20, 2025.

​For additional questions about the capital funding, please contact Brian Dicken, vice president for advocacy & strategic initiatives, at [email protected].
