Lake County officials attend unveiling of Ohio Counties interactive display at statehouse

The County Commissioners Association of Ohio recently unveiled a new, interactive display in the Map Room of the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus.

Twenty-five years ago, Ohio’s 88 counties raised $40,000 to help provide the county floor map located in an area of the Statehouse that serves as a central location for guests and school groups to organize and visit.

This year, CCAO and Ohio’s counties have gifted an interactive display allowing visitors to learn more about each county and the state-county partnership.

According to state and local officials, counties are “true partners” to the state by delivering critical services such as the justice system and law enforcement, infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, social services, child and senior protective services, and much more.
