We are incredibly excited and grateful to announce that funding has been awarded through the State of Ohio’s Brownfield Remediation Program to support cleanup efforts at the former Ansell Edmont property located in the City of Coshocton.

Brownfield remediation is about far more than cleaning up old industrial sites — it is about creating opportunity. These investments help communities remove environmental barriers, improve safety, and prepare properties for future development and revitalization.

When former industrial properties sit unused, they can become challenges for neighborhoods and economic growth. But with strategic cleanup efforts, those same sites can once again become productive assets that attract investment, create jobs, support housing or business development, and strengthen the overall community.

This project represents another important step forward in transforming underutilized properties into places with purpose and potential. We are proud to continue working alongside our local, regional, and state partners to position Coshocton for future growth while preserving and improving the quality of life for our residents.

Thank you to the State of Ohio for recognizing the importance of investing in communities like Coshocton and helping us build momentum for the future. The work happening here matters — and we are excited for what comes next!

More brownfield sites will be revitalized across Ohio with support from our Ohio Brownfield Remediation Program. Since launching this program in 2021, we’ve changed the trajectory of hundreds of properties that once held our communities back, turning long-neglected eyesores into places of possibility.

We cannot create new land, but we can revitalize and repurpose the land we already have.

The Coshocton Port Authority works diligently to transform underutilized and distressed properties through programs such as Building Demolition, Site Revitalization, and Brownfield Remediation funding. By investing in these efforts, we are creating new opportunities for growth, development, and a stronger future for Coshocton County. These projects are made even more successful through strong partnerships with organizations like the Coshocton County Land Reutilization Corporation.

Yesterday, our office had the opportunity to attend the Ohio Brownfields Conference to continue learning, collaborating, and exploring innovative ways to bring new life to properties and strengthen our communities.

and National Small Business Week are a powerful reminder that strong communities don’t happen by accident—they’re built through connection, collaboration, and a shared commitment to growth.

When local businesses—especially our small businesses—community organizations, schools, and local governments work together, we create more than economic opportunity—we create places where people want to live, work, and invest.

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities, and their success is directly tied to the strength of our partnerships and local support systems.

Every partnership matters. Every conversation counts. And every effort to support one another strengthens the foundation of our community.

Here’s to working together, lifting each other up, and building a future full of possibility. 🌱

As we celebrate America250, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how transportation helped shape communities like ours right here in Ohio.

Did you know that passenger trains were once one of the most powerful drivers of economic growth in small-town America? Railroads connected people to jobs, businesses to markets, and communities to new opportunities. Towns with strong rail access often became hubs for industry, trade, and tourism—proving that transportation has always been about more than just getting from one place to another.

A great local example is Dennison Railroad Depot Museum, famously known as the “Dreamsville, USA” canteen during World War II. More than 1.3 million soldiers passed through its doors, creating not only a historic landmark, but a lasting reminder of how transportation infrastructure can shape an entire region’s identity and economy.

Today, the same lesson still applies. Strong roads, rail, waterways, and infrastructure continue to drive economic development, attract investment, and create jobs. Communities that invest in transportation invest in their future.

As we honor 250 years of America’s progress, we also celebrate the tracks, roads, and connections that helped build it.
