The Ohio Department of Development announced Friday that CASTLO will receive $3,491,000 from the state’s Job Ready Site Program. The funds will be used to demolish a 312,000-square-foot building and redevelop 66 acres.

The work includes environmental cleanup and the extension of the road and utilities on the site.

The grant, announced by Mark Barbash, the ODOD assistant director, is part of $29.9 million in Job Ready Site program funds awarded across the state.
