LEBANON, OH (FOX19) -  Warren County Engineer, Neil Tunison, P.E., P.S., was sworn in as the County Engineer’s Association of Ohio’s (CEAO) new president. He was sworn-in on Dec. 12 in Columbus, Ohio by Ron Maag, Ohio State Representative. Mr. Tunison will serve as president for one year.

Most notably Mr. Tunison was honored statewide by CEAO when he received the 2004 County Engineer of the Year award. He was praised for his work with storm water and drainage issues.

His primary efforts will be in maintaining current federal truck weight limits, working with ODOT on project development for federally funded projects, and urging state and federal legislators to adequately fund much needed transportation projects in a new funding bill.

The CEAO serves as a central point for reference and group discussion of mutual problems for the County Engineer. The majority of Ohio's 88 counties elect a County Engineer.
