127 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 2, ISSUE 6 funded.” This unique funding model also allows the County Engineer to prioritize the township roads, bridges, and culverts in need of repair. The County’s infrastructure has been vastly improved with just about every road and bridge now meeting the approved rating system. Looman provides the example of a county company wanting to expand, but its main road is inhibiting that growth. Carroll County, along with potential funders, have come together so there should be enough grant money to renovate the road, allowing the company to achieve its goals. “Carroll County is involved with all aspects of the community; we pull together to get the job done,” says Looman. “It’s cooperation, collaboration, and Commissioner Modranski keeping his nose to the grindstone to work every possible angle to resolve a situation; hopefully resulting in new investments and jobs for the County.” For Modranski the immediate goal is to continue focusing on bringing more businesses into the community. “We want to employ more of our residents, so less of them have to travel outside the County for work. We want to prevent our young people from leaving to find employment. There are many enriching things to do right here in Carroll County and it will always be a reliable community to raise a family in.” CARROLL COUNTY , OHIO
