BUILDING DEMOLITION & SITE REVITALIZATION PROGRAM

GENERAL INFORMATION

Included in the state budget bill for state Fiscal Years 2024-2025, the state extended the Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program, overseen by the Ohio Department of Development (ODOD). The purpose is to provide nearly $150 million in grant funding for the demolition of commercial and residential buildings and the revitalization of surrounding properties. This program does not include brownfield sites. For more information on funding for brownfield sites, please visit the ODOD website for the Brownfield Remediation Program, created as part of the same legislation. The Brownfield Remediation Program is expected to open later this year.

Within each county, a lead entity must be established. In counties where a land bank has been established, the land bank shall be the lead entity.
