Funds for Specific Projects are sometimes available from State or Federal sources. Lucas County actively pursues this outside funding. A large part of these funds for specific projects have come from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC). These OPWC funds are for infrastructure improvements and are distributed on a competitive basis.

Gas Tax:

We receive 8.8% of the County's share of the State's gasoline tax.
