COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ann Arbor Railroad will receive $120,000 and manufacturer AluChem will receive $75,000 for rail rehabilitation projects approved at the most recent meeting of the Ohio Rail Development Commission.
The commission announced the grants, approved at a Jan. 22 meeting, on Tuesday, Jan. 27.
The Ann Arbor funding will go toward a $240,000 grade crossing rehabilitation project at Chrysler Avenue on the spur serving the Jeep plant in Toledo.
The commission also approved funding for Ohio Operation Lifesaver’s 2026 Education Grant.
