COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio lawmakers on Wednesday gave final approval to a $4.2 billion capital budget that provides money to hundreds of construction and renovation projects in Northeast Ohio and around the state.

House Bill 2, which heads to Gov. Mike DeWine after easily clearing Ohio Senate and House votes, includes more than $175 million for dozens of community projects in and around Cuyahoga County and about $60 million for colleges and universities in the area.
