After years of working out of a domestic violence shelter that did not provide the welcoming atmosphere ideal for those seeking temporary shelter, Lutheran Social Services (LSS) Choices for Victims of Domestic Violence officials decided to build a new, 46,000-sq.-ft. facility. With nearly ten acres of green space available for construction, it is estimated that the new shelter will more than double the number of people that can be accommodated. The current facility — the only 24-hour domestic violence facility in Franklin County — has approximately 51 beds; the new facility will increase this capacity to 120 beds. The project architect is Berardi Architects, and Elford Construction of Columbus, Ohio, is the general contractor. “One of Elford’s core values is to Build Community, and the LSS project embodies this in its purest form. The important work that LSS is doing in the Columbus community humbles our team every day. We are honored to be a part of something so important for so many,” said Andrew Long, project manager of Elford Construction. According to Choices’ spokeswoman Jennifer Hamilton, the current shelter didn’t provide the space for a growing population needing assistance.

Started on Aug. 1, 2016, the Kokosing Construction Company Inc. is more than half-way through the $119,988,186 Ohio Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) I-271 pavement replacement and widening between the Cuyahoga/Summit County line and Miles Road. The project, federally and state funded, is expected to be completed in June 2020. The work zone covers 6 mi., passing through the cities of Bedford, Bedford Heights, Warrensville Heights, Oakwood Village and Macedonia. The existing lanes will receive a fulldepth pavement replacement, and I271 will be widened to three lanes north and southbound between Miles and Columbus Road and five lanes

“As people entered the shelter, they had to find a place to stay for the night, and most slept wherever they could,” Hamilton said. She added that the new 120-bed facility will be a welcome relief; spacial concerns will be addressed in this new design. For the design phase of the new building, Choices’ leaders worked with a shelter design committee to integrate traumainformed care into the plans. The shelter design planning committee included: local leaders from the Columbus Division of Police, officials from the sheriff’s office and local domestic violence experts. They focused on creating a thoughtful design, inspired by “building dignity” — a national concept for shelters that supports the trauma-informed care model, enhances security and fosters a sense of healing. The 120 beds are organized into houses, or pods, that include 12 beds, 4 bathrooms, storage and laundry. There are also sitting rooms, so people in the house can congregate — this particularly allows parents within the house to remain close to their children, while also offering the possibility of interacting with other adult members of the house who can empathize with their situation. Planned amenities include: a full-scale professional kitchen, a courtyard, fully enclosed patios, a basketball court, a playground and a kennel for pets. Hamilton said it is important for individuals seeking shelter to be able to keep their pets close by because that offers a sense of security. With many domestic violence cases, abusers use pets as a tool of manipulation to keep victims trapped; this amenity offers guests a way to work against that manipulation. Hamilton added that the new facility will be very discreet, and many will not know it’s
location. When construction began at the start of 2017, work focused on the exterior of the facility. This included working with building materials such as: split-faced brick veneer, storefront glass and vapor-barrier material. Despite the harsh winter weather in the area, workers were able to proceed on the project and avoid delays. Hamilton said that most of the exterior work is nearly complete, so the upcoming construction work will be focused on the interior. Current construction challenges include: the digging of a sewerline trench, the installation of the 200 ft. sanitary sewer line and the uprooting and removal of trees in the surrounding area, according to Long. “We also had to deal with the Indiana bat migration, which takes place during the spring and fall,” Long said. A groundbreaking took place in April 2017 to celebrate the announcement of the new LSS Choices for Victims of Domestic Violence Shelter. With $15 million in funds raised by the LSS organization, $1 million in promised investments from the city of Columbus, $1 million from Franklin County and $3 million from L Brands and the Wexner family, Hamilton said the project remains on schedule and should be completed by late 2018. Equipment being used for the project includes: Kobelco 170 and 215 excavators; a Kobelco 55 mini-excavator; Cat D6N and D4K bulldozers; a Volvo A25 articulated truck; a Cat CP56 compactor; a John Deere 323 skid steer loader; and a Case 621 wheel loader.

Communities Receive $87M for Infrastructure Improvements Communities in Northwest Ohio are receiving nearly $87 million in low-interest and principal forgiveness funding from Ohio EPA to improve wastewater and drinking water infrastructure and make other water quality improvements. The loans were approved between April 1 and June 30, 2018. The lower interest rates and forgiven principal will save these communities more than $17 million. Statewide, Ohio EPA awarded more than $374 million in loans during the second quarter of the year, including more than $22 million in principal forgiveness. Combined, Ohio communities will save more than $83.6 million when compared to market-rate loans. The following Northwest Ohio projects are receiving funding: • Lima is receiving more than $43 million for two projects: the first to build a 13-million-gal. combined sewer overflow (CSO) storage basin and to rehabilitate sections of deteriorated sewer pipe. • Defiance is receiving $4.3 million to eliminate combined sewers by installing new storm sewers at College Place and East High Street. • Van Wert, Upper Sandusky and Greenwich are receiving more than $8.3 million to address CSOs in those communities. One of these projects is a 15-million-gal. CSO retention basin in Van Wert. • St. Marys will build a new drinking water plant and raw water intake system with a $19 million loan. The loan includes $25,000 in principal forgiveness. • The Northwestern Water and Sewer District is receiving more than $1.7 million to replace water lines, lead service lines and fire hydrants. • Rockford is receiving $2.15 million for wastewater treatment plant improvements. • Milan is receiving $20,170, including $10,000 in principal forgiveness, to prepare an asset management plan for its drinking water infrastructure. • Crawford, Defiance, Erie, Fulton, Lucas, Hancock, Hardin, Henry, Marion, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams and Wyandot counties as well as the city of Shelby, are receiving a total of $3.16 million in principal forgiveness funding to help replace failing home sewage treatment systems. Created in 1989, the Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) helps communities improve their wastewater treatment systems. The Water Supply Revolving Loan Account (WSRLA), started in 1998, provides loans for improvements to community drinking water systems and nonprofit, noncommunity public water systems. Both programs offer below-market interest rate loans, which can save communities a substantial amount of money compared to market-rate loans. Ohio EPA’s state revolving fund (SRF) loans are provided to communities to build and upgrade wastewater and drinking water infrastructure, upgrade home sewage treatment systems, better manage storm water, address combined sewer overflows and implement other water quality-related projects. Financial assistance helps support planning, design and construction activities and enhances the technical, managerial and financial capacity of these systems. WPCLF loans also make possible the restoration and protection of some of Ohio’s highest quality water bodies through the fund’s Water Resource Restoration Sponsor Program.
Ohio’s SRF loan programs are partially supported by annual federal capitalization grants and have grown substantially over time because of the revolving nature of the loan issuance and payments back into the fund. The SRF programs are managed by Ohio EPA’s Division of Environmental and Financial Assistance, with assistance from the Ohio Water Development Authority. Ohio EPA is responsible for program development and implementation, individual project coordination, and environmental and other
technical reviews/approvals of projects seeking funds. The Ohio Water Development Authority provides financial management of the SRF funds.
