Tuscarawas

Throughout this past year, Congressman Space has fought to provide economic development not only for Tuscarawas County, but also for the entire region. Listed below you will find some of the projects that will make a significant impact on the lives of residents living in Tuscarawas County:

  • Improving Emergency Care – Last August, Congressman Space visited Union Hospital, Twin City Hospital, and Hennis Care Center on a hospital tour. He learned that rural, acute care hospitals often represent the only access to hospital care available to the entire county and face unique obstacles as a result. Later in the year, he secured $316,000 in funding for Twin City Hospital to renovate their emergency room. This will allow the hospital to make vital improvements to their infrastructure, including installing air conditioning and adding more rooms.
  • Investing in the Fine Arts – Kent State Tuscarawas has been awarded $146,000 Congressman Space requested to purchase equipment for the performing arts center.
  • Repairing Worn-Out Infrastructure – Congressman Space secured $980,000 in funds for ODOT to repair Harrison County Road 29. This funding will bring long-overdue investment to our vital transportation infrastructure and keep tenants in the industrial park.
  • Helping Our Law Enforcement Officers – The City of Uhrichsville will receive $47,000 Congressman Space requested to update their police radio system to facilitate communication between units.
  • Saving the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) – Congressman Space worked in Congress to reverse drastic proposed budget cuts for the ARC. The Commission has been an economic engine since President John F. Kennedy set in motion its creation in the 1960s. In fact, in 2007 Congress actually increased the ARC funding to $73 million, the first increase in nearly a decade.

Congressman Space pledges to continue working to ensure that the 18th District receives the support necessary to spur economic growth, maintain a functional infrastructure, and meet the needs of residents.
