   "These funds will help Miami County maintain and enhance infrastructure for local communities," said Huffman. "I look forward to seeing these projects completed and put to use by the citizens of Miami County." 

   The Ohio Public Works Commission Projects were selected by 19 district integrating committees based on a variety of factors including health and safety, age and condition, and number of users. The committees also sent unfunded projects for communities with a population of 5,000 or less to compete in the OPWC Small Government Program. As part of the round, 601 projects received funding in total.
