The Ohio governor's appropriations help out Washington County in a big way.

One of those being the Peoples Bank Theatre - the old Colony Theatre that has been under renovation for quite some time.

The governor is giving them $500,000.

Development director Hunt Brawley says this is a great thing for them.

They are now only 10 percent from full funding.

The Ohio River and Campus Martius Museums, Washington State Community College and the Marietta Family YMCA also received funding.
