Ohio's latest budget that Gov. Mike DeWine is set to sign includes millions of dollars for the Mahoning Valley.

State Sen. Michael Rulli (R-Salem) released a statement ahead of the governor's signature about the money coming to local projects in the 2022-2023 budget.

Below is a list of projects getting money.
- Secure $3.5 million for Eastern Gateway Community College to create new workforce initiatives
- Appropriate $1 million for the Mahoning Valley Campus of Care
- Allocate $150,000 for the Lisbon Village Fire Department
- Appropriate $200,000 in FY 2022 for Youngstown State University's Mahoning Valley Workforce Partnership
- Allocate $425,000 each fiscal year to support at-risk youth at Mahoning County High School
- Provide $150,000 in FY 2022 for the City of East Liverpool to acquire, demolish or rehabilitate abandoned houses and conduct property cleanup activities
- Securing $350 million to identify and address clean-up for abandoned industrial properties across the state

"I am pleased the additional effort I made to secure these hometown projects brought results that weren't even part of the discussion in the House," Rulli said in a prepared statement. "If you don't ask, you won't get it. I asked, worked with President Huffman, and now, these vital projects are part of the budget. I will always be an enthusiastic and loud advocate for our district."
