WAYNE COUNTY, OH, Aug. 2019 — A grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) will help fund a project to resurface a 3.2-mile portion of County Road 149 (Elyria Road) between Blachleyville and S. Columbus Roads. Wayne County Engineer Scott Miller said that a start date will be determined soon.
In July 2019, it was announced that Wayne County was awarded the OPWC grant for 20 percent of the cost of the project in addition to a 12-year, zero percent interest loan according to Kristi Burkholder of the Wayne County Commissioners office. Miller applied for the funding through a long-standing state program that supports local government infrastructure projects that are awarded by a multi-county objective scoring process.
Kokosing Construction Company, Inc., a family-owned construction company based in Westerville, Ohio, submitted the lowest and best bid to complete the project by October 11, 2019, at a cost not to exceed $793,158.20. According to Ryan Marthey of the Wayne County Engineer’s Office, Elyria Road will remain open during the construction phase and traffic will be controlled by flaggers.

WAYNE COUNTY, OH, Aug. 2019 — Under the leadership of the Office of the Wayne County Prosecuting Attorney, the Wayne County Child Support Enforcement Agency has increased their current support collections each year for the previous seven years and was recognized as the Best Performance in Support Order Establishment in the medium caseload division for the eighth consecutive year. WCCSEA is currently providing support to more than 6,000 active cases.
“In order for our agency to be able to get that regular, consistent support that is so important to our families,” said WCCSEA Director Brynn Jackson. “It is, first, important that we get families in and work with us in order to establish those child and medical support orders.”
According to Jackson, the federally mandated agency works to establish paternity and enforce child and medical support obligations to ensure parents are paying consistent support for the well-being of children.
Attending the ceremony was Deputy Director Child Support for the Department of Job and Family Services Jeff Aldridge who praised Jackson for the work of her agency.
“We recognize those counties in their category size based on caseload and that perform at the highest level,” Aldridge said about WCCSEA. “It is a well-run agency.”
A proclamation was also presented to the WCCSEA by the Wayne County Commissioners.
