COLUMBUS, Ohio — State Representative Bob Peterson announced that funding for renovations at the Fayette Rest Area has been approved by the Ohio State Controlling Board.
“Every so often, we have to work to improve facilities across Ohio, especially when they pertain to safety and operation. With the economic growth in Jeffersonville at the megasite, this is a necessary improvement to our community,” said Peterson.
The Ohio Department of Transportation will oversee a renovation project at the Fayette Rest Area that is set to cost $775,928. The project will involve the demolition of current buildings and sidewalk repairs, hazmat testing, parking lot improvements, and upgrades to sewage treatment plants and water wells. The goal of this renovation is to improve the safety and operations of the rest area for the community.
