Washington, D.C. 20590 United States Dear Director Augustine, As you evaluate applications for the BUILD Grant program, we respectfully urge your support for the following Ohio-based projects. These proposals are critical not only to our state, but to the nation's broader transportation and economic goals. Ohio ranks 6th in total freight volume moved annually, and its central location allows drivers to reach more than 60% of the U.S. population within a day. As the Administration continues its efforts to strengthen domestic manufacturing, investments in infrastructure that support efficient logistics and supply chain resilience are essential. These projects advance that mission and align with the BUILD program's focus on projects with significant regional and national impact. 1.
