Mohican State Park to Receive $5 Million in Upgrades
Ohio funding worth 88.5 million for state park capital improvements targets Mohican with about 5 million in upgrades. ODNR Director Jim Zehringer says the focus is on renewal and visitor enjoyment, not expansion, while Mohican volunteers and visitors drive priorities through surveys. Local tourism supports Ashland County with 138 million in annual visitor spending and 300000+ Mohican-area visitors last year.
