UPDATED February 29, 2008

Sanitary Sewer Extensions--COMPLETE
The City of Heath, as part of joint OPWC project with the Port Authority, has contracted with Law General Contracting to install city sanitary sewer line extensions to two locations on the South Campus. Sites off of Kaiser Drive will have sanitary sewer service capabilities when this project is completed. Work is expected to be underway starting September 12.

Electric Utility Extensions--UNDERWAY
A second stage of a power loop has begun in the Summer 2007. Only a final connection is necessary to activate this loop. American Electric Power completed the first major electric line extension for the South Campus in April 2006. The 34.5kV, three-phase power is to be looped from two different circuits with proximity to several different electric substations.

COATC South Campus Upgrades --COMPLETE
Law General Contracting of Newark completed work on the roadway portion of the second stage of infrastructure improvements on the South Campus on May 23, 2007. Water and sanitary sewer service extensions were completed in September 2006, including a water line extension which improves service to existing COATC tenants. A roadway project to connect James Parkway up with Kaiser Drive began in August 2006. The project opened to traffic following an informal ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, May 23. The roadway portion was partly funded from a $500,000 grant through the Ohio Department of Development.

A ribbon cutting ceremony attended by business, City of Heath, and Port Authority officials was held on May 23, 2007 to make the occasion of the opening of the roadway portion of the project. Fittingly, the first truck using the new roadway occurred 30 seconds after the ceremony to make a delivery to Samuel Manu-Tech. See a video clip from the ribbon cutting at Base TV.

Kaiser Drive Extension--COMPLETE
R.F. Scurlock Co. began a project May 2005 to reconstruct and extend Kaiser Drive from State Route 79 to a center point on the COATC South Campus. A November 2, 2005 groundbreaking was a milestone in development of the South Campus as this project will bring the first major infrastructure improvements to this property in over 50 years. This combination roadway upgrade, roadway extension, and storm water project was aided by a $500,000 state grant from the State of Ohio Department of Development under the Third Frontier program. A preliminary plat was approved by the City of Heath in early May 2004. Jobes Henderson & Associates of Newark was the project engineer. The project was substantially complete October 19, 2005.

South Campus Directional Signage--COMPLETE
In early July 2006, Kessler Sign Company installed a new directional sign along Kaiser Drive about 1000' feet inside the COATC St. Rt. 79 entrance. The sign closely mimics signage for the COATC Base Campus. Village Landscaping completed landscaping in and around the signage in late July.
