2025 Report Card for Ohio's Infrastructure Shows Progress, But Challenges Remain
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Ohio Council of Sections has released its 2025 Report Card for Ohio’s Infrastructure, and there’s a bit of good news: Ohio’s overall grade has improved to a ‘C’, up from a ‘C-’ in 2021. That puts the Buckeye State on par with the national average, according to ASCE’s recently released national report. The Ohio Council of Sections released their report at the state capitol building in Columbus, Ohio assessing seventeen infrastructure areas: Aviation, bridges, dams, drinking water, energy, hazardous waste, inland waterways, levees, parks, ports, rail, roads, schools, solid waste, stormwater, transit, and wastewater.
“Infrastructure impacts every Ohioan, every day,” said Charles Sawyer, P.E., chair of the 2025 Report Card for Ohio’s Infrastructure. “This report card is a call to action to ensure our systems are safe, resilient, and ready for the future.”
Come join the meeting to learn more about the 2025 ASCE Report Card for Ohio’s Infrastructure, the process to develop the report and how you can help spread the word for Ohio’s Infrastructure needs from the Chair of the Dams Category.
