Ohio DOT Faces Opposition from Farmers Over U.S. 23-I-71 Connector Project
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is set to update the public on the U.S. 23/I-71 connector project, which aims to improve connectivity and travel time between Toledo and Columbus. However, the project faces opposition from Morrow County farmers, as one potential route would cut through the county, affecting hundreds of acres of farmland. Local residents have expressed their preference for improvements to U.S. 23 instead of the new connector. Public comment sessions are scheduled for early August, providing a platform for community feedback.
