For the past 50 years, Buckeye Hills Regional Council has helped communities in Southeastern Ohio work cooperatively to improve the region. A voluntary organization of local government political subdivisions, Buckeye Hills serves eight counties securing financial resources to translate ideas into action (Athens, Hocking, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, Noble, Perry, & Washington). Approximately 260,000 residents populate this region which spans 3,695 square miles.
Whether reaching out to the region’s aging in need of in-home assistance, providing communities with planning support, or serving as advocates on the state and national level, the professional staff at Buckeye Hills serves with dedication and compassion.
Since its inception, Buckeye Hills has secured over $1 billion for the region’s education, health care, infrastructure, training, and social services programs.
Buckeye Hills assists communities in identifying urgent needs and securing grant and loan dollars to improve infrastructure and the overall quality of life for residents. The staff often acts as ‘adjunct staff’ for communities in the District by providing technical assistance, grant writing, and project administration.
