for Pike County Culvert Project
State Route 551
PIK-551-0.28 (PID: 95424) - It is proposed to rehabilitate the structure located at the 0.28-mile marker on state Route 551 by paving the bottom of the culvert with concrete. The project site is situated over a tributary of Pee Pee Creek and located between the intersections of Township Road 452 (Jefferson and Lake View roads), just south of S.R. 220. No new right of way will be required, and no homes or businesses will be removed as a result of the project. A contract is anticipated to be awarded in the spring of 2017, and a closure of the route may be necessary to complete construction.
Additional information, including a complete description, maps and plans sheets, is available online at

AEP OHIO INVESTMENTS IMPROVING
Its Power System in Southern Ohio
GAHANNA, Ohio, - AEP Ohio employees work every day to provide reliable power to the company's customers. This includes customers who live and work in more than a dozen southern Ohio counties that make up AEP Ohio's Chillicothe District territory.
"Our job is to keep that power on," says Selwyn Dias, vice president of AEP Ohio distribution operations. "We take this very seriously. Next to safety, providing our customers with reliable service is our top priority. Everything we do is planned and strategic to better serve our customers."
Electricity has been making lives easier since its beginnings in the late 1800s. AEP Ohio's system has been getting that power to people since 1906.
Today, AEP Ohio's customers use electricity constantly to light, heat and cool their homes and businesses, and to power the many electric appliances and electronic devices and gadgets that are the staples of modern living.
To keep that power flowing, AEP Ohio has invested approximately $169 million across its Chillicothe territory since 2013 to better serve area customers. These funds have gone to:
- inspect lines and equipment that deliver power to customers;
- convert lines to higher voltage
- create ties to other circuits to allow for switching and quicker restoration when an outage happens;
- replace poles and other equipment;
- rebuild and replace substations; and
"Our regular maintenance and repair plan allows us to maintain and strengthen our existing lines and equipment," says Michele Ross, Chillicothe District manager distribution system. "This helps us provide more reliable service and still build new lines to serve new customers and support economic development."
Work plans are done yearly. Work may be completed within that year or be ongoing for an extended period.
Aberdeen, Bidwell, Circleville, Chillicothe, Ironton, Hillsboro, McArthur, Oak Hill, Piketon, Portsmouth and Seaman are some of the more than 40 southern Ohio communities where AEP Ohio is improving service for its customers.
AEP Ohio also has invested nearly $29 million across the region since 2013 to trim and clear trees away from lines and equipment. One tree contacting a power line can cause an outage for hundreds or even thousands of customers. The company's cycle-based vegetation management program has reduced tree-caused outages across Ohio by nearly 80 percent since 2010.
AEP Ohio's Chillicothe District serves more than 120,000 customers in 14 counties. For more facts about AEP Ohio and Chillicothe District, visit

NOTE: This updated tax alert reflects a revision to our original email issued in July of 2016. See revisions in red below
.
The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) needs your help! Starting with the 2016 tax year (W-2s issued in January 2017), please list the four digit school district number along with the school district name in box 20 when reporting school district withholding.
Many localities have both a city income tax as well as a school district income tax. We have found that thousands of W-2 statements provided by employers each year list a city name twice with two different tax withholding amounts; one for city income tax withheld and one for school district income tax withheld. This has caused some individuals to mistakenly claim the wrong withholding amount on the return or add both withholding amounts together when filing their city and/or school district income tax returns.
To assist individual taxpayers (your employees) from making these errors, ODT is asking that you or your payroll service provider clearly distinguish between city and school district withholding reported on the W-2 forms by including the 4-digit school district identifier and district name.
Because of the limited space in box 20, ODT will accept the 4-digit school district number in combination with an abbreviation of the school district name or the letters "SD" for "school district". Here are examples of acceptable methods:
SD 1904
1904 SD
GREEN 1904
1904 GREEN
GRE 1904
1904 GRE
Please explain to the employees receiving W-2s containing school district information that the four digit code is their Ohio school district tax jurisdiction.
Please visit
tax.ohio.gov for additional information, example W-2s and a link to
The Finder, an online tool that provides the correct school district number for every school district in Ohio.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping improve the income tax filing experience for your employees.
