Ohio Public Works Commission

Ohio Public Works Commission These programs, which run concurrently, are solicited, scored and selected by the 19 District Integrating Committees according to each district’s schedule.

The Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) was created initially in 1987 to administer the State Capital Improvement Program which was soon joined by the Local Transportation Improvement Program. In 2000, the OPWC became responsible for the administration of the Clean Ohio Conservation Green Space Program in which applications are solicited, scored, and selected by the 19 Natural Resource Assistance

Councils (NRACs). The OPWC staff is accountable to the legislatively appointed twelve-member Commission who provides oversight to the Director and adopts the bylaws governing the conduct of OPWC’s business. The Commission’s staff works with the district committees to ensure that the programs are administered in a fair and objective manner. On a daily basis staff maintain ongoing contact with local communities, providing technical assistance through each project's completion.

It’s Public Service Recognition Week here in the State of Ohio—a perfect opportunity to celebrate the dedicated team behind the Ohio Public Works Commission. 🌟

💡 Fun fact: OPWC operates with just 8 full-time staff to administer more than $400 million in annual funding for conservation and infrastructure projects. Our small but mighty team is committed to efficiency, accountability, and making a real impact in communities across the state.

We’re kicking off the week by highlighting Jeffrey Brown, our Clean Ohio Analyst. Jeff works in the field, traveling throughout Ohio to visit Clean Ohio properties and ensure they meet program requirements. His role offers a unique, firsthand look at conservation in action—giving him the chance to experience some of the most remarkable natural spaces our state has to offer while supporting the communities that protect them.
