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 citizens of Ohio voted to approve the Clean Ohio Fund with a $400 million bond program in 2000. It 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.

In April 2008, Governor Strickland, Lt. Governor Fisher, Ohio Senate President Harris, and Ohio House Speaker Husted announced a $1.57 billion jobs stimulus package that aims to create new jobs while laying the foundation for future economic prosperity. Recognizing the importance of Clean Ohio as critical to that effort, the legislature placed a $400 million renewal of the Clean Ohio Fund as Issue 2 on the November 2008 ballot.
