Peterson highlighted a $500,000 investment to support phase two of the Historic Washington Auditorium Project in Washington Court House. "I am proud to secure funding that will help restore the historic Washington Auditorium," said Peterson. "The investments made today in the auditorium restoration project will be enjoyed by community members for years to come."
The legislation also includes substantial statewide capital investments:
