Welcome to the Clean Ohio Fund
The Clean Ohio Fund restores, protects, and connects Ohio's important natural and urban places by preserving green space and farmland, improving outdoor recreation, and by cleaning up brownfields to encourage redevelopment and revitalize communities.

The Clean Ohio Fund consists of four competitive statewide programs: the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund, the Clean Ohio Agricultural Easement Purchase Program, the Clean Ohio Green Space Conservation Program, and the Clean Ohio Trails Fund.

The citizens of Ohio originally voted in 2000 to approve the Clean Ohio Fund with a $400 million bond program. In 2008, the Clean Ohio Fund is a critical component of the Ohio Bipartisan Job Stimulus Plan that aims to create new jobs while laying the foundation for future economic prosperity. Placed before Ohio's voters as Issue 2, the ballot initiative was overwhelmingly approved in all 88 counties which extended the Fund with another $400 million bond program.

From the projected creation and retention of 15,000 Ohio jobs to the creation of over 200 miles of multi-purpose trails, the Clean Ohio Fund is keeping the state environmentally sound, economically viable, and poised for the future.
