SUMMARY:Informational Session for RFI: Building Composting Capacity in Southwest Ohio
DESCRIPTION:Request for Interest (RFI): Building Composting Capacity in Southwest Ohio \nInformational session – April 1\, 2026 at 12 p.m. \nHamilton County ReSource seeks to increase food scrap and other organics processing capacity with composting facilities that create a valuable soil amendment and act as an asset to the surrounding community. ReSource issued this RFI to identify partners that can expand existing composting capacity or build new composting capacity in the region. \nThis RFI seeks to identify: \n1. Partners with a minimum site size of six acres of land that could host a food scrap composting facility (approximately four acres for composting activity and two acres for vegetative buffer). This could include existing composting or mulching operations or sites suitable for building a composting operation. \n2. Operators for a composting facility. Operators could own a site or just have interest in operating a compost site. \nHamilton County has potential funding to support one or both aspects of a composting operation and through this RFI\, seeks to determine the financial investment needed to expand food scrap processing capacity. Information from this RFI will determine if sufficient interest exists to move forward on a public-private partnership and approximately how much investment a project will require from Hamilton County. Once the project has been determined\, Hamilton County will issue a formal Request for Proposals.
