www.columbusmessenger.com November 13, 2022 - GROVE CITY MESSENGER - PAGE 5 Government Focus Township tries to secure funds for road projects By Dedra Cordle Staff Writer The Ohio Public Works Commission will soon announce which municipalities will receive full to partial funding to make infrastructure upgrades through its capital improvement program and the local transportation improvement program. Among the hundreds of government entities who are hoping to hear good news regarding their road repair request is Jackson Township. At its meeting in late October, Township Administrator Shane Farnsworth told the board of trustees that the application to repair two of its most well-traveled, and well-worn, roads had officially been submitted for review. He said he feels confident that the township will receive partial funding — if not full Property Tax Assistance Program The Franklin County Auditor’s office is now accepting applications for the Property Tax Assistance Program (PTAP) from lowincome older homeowners who need help paying their 2022 first-half property taxes, said Auditor Michael Stinziano. funding — to make needed repairs to Brown and Dyer roads. “I believe that we have a real chance to get some amount of dollars due to the scope of the project,” said Farnsworth. “It is a relatively small project, about $350,000 in the grand scheme of things, and I do not believe it would take an excessively long time to complete.” He said the township and the county did a preliminary scoring account of the project and found it to be “right on the edge” to meet the parameters of project approval. “Although I do feel good about it, there is always that chance that other projects will score and fare just a bit better,” he said. “But again, I believe we have a good project here so we’ll just keep our fingers crossed and hope to hear good news (from the state) within the next two months.” According to the application request, the news and notes township is seeking a full resurfacing of Brown Road and Dyer Road, along with improvements at the intersection. Farnsworth said stormwater repairs were also requested within the application because the area tends to flood during heavy rain events. “Much of the stormwater infrastructure on Brown and Dyer has been crushed from all the dump trucks and other heavy-load vehicles that travel through,” he said. “So what we have now are areas where the water just lays there without draining and it really affects the neighborhood homes.” He said infrastructure improvements would allow that run-off to drain in a more timely manner. “The repairs would allow it to function as it should,” he said. Improvements to Brown and Dyer Road have been on the township’s need-to-repair The PTAP provides emergency one-time property tax assistance to low-income homeowners age 60 or older and is a nonprofit entity. New this year, the PTAP application can be submitted online. PTAP applications are reviewed by a board that includes the Franklin County auditor’s office, Franklin County treasurer’s office, Franklin County Office on Aging, Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging, and several other partner organizations. “PTAP can help older residents on fixed incomes keep their homes despite rising home values,” Stinziano said. “I encourage anyone who needs assistance and qualifies to apply to the program.” list for many years, said Farnsworth, but he added the condition of the roads have been further damaged due to the surrounding roadway repairs. “We all wanted repairs to be done to Frank Road and State Route 104, but a lot of those detours caused a lot of traffic to be diverted to these roads because they were a convenient cut-through,” said Farnsworth. “These roads, which are very narrow and occasionally curvy, were not built for that amount of traffic.” He said he hopes with the major thoroughfares now being open, traffic will start to recede from Brown and Dyer so the condition of the roadway does not deteriorate further. “That is the ultimate goal of this project — to repair and stabilize this area,” he stated. Applications are due by Nov. 18. Information about the program and an application can be found on the auditor’s office website, franklincountyauditor.com. The PTAP was founded in 1987 and has supported hundreds of qualifying homeowners in Franklin County.
