As a local public works agency headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Franklin County Engineer's Office is responsible for the maintenance and construction of 271 miles of county roadway and 351 county bridges, as well as upkeep of all county ditches, drains, retention basins, and other storm water facilities within the right-of-way of county roads in unincorporated areas. To meet the continuing development and infrastructure needs of Franklin County, the Engineer's Office utilizes the latest technologies for determining and maintaining roadway centerlines and boundaries; retracing and setting new monuments for original public land surveys; preparing geographic information system mapping for real estate tax assessments; and establishing precise countywide horizontal and vertical control to maintain uniformity in construction, surveying, and mapping.
#TeamFCEO is proud to recognize Professional Surveyor Jackson Brandel, P.S., who earned first place in the Ohio Society of Professional Surveyors (OSPS) Survey Plat Competition at the OSPS Annual Conference. Jackson’s award-winning plat, submitted as part of the annual competition, documented an annexation detachment from the City of Columbus to Prairie Township, highlighting the precision, expertise, and dedication that professional surveying brings to our communities every day. Congratulations, Jackson!
We appreciated the opportunity to participate in today’s SMPS Columbus program, What’s Coming: 2026 Capital Improvement Plans. Chief Deputy of Engineering W. Fritz Crosier, P.E., represented the Franklin County Engineer’s Office on a panel alongside other local leaders sharing firsthand updates on upcoming projects, funding priorities, and growth strategies. The event was a valuable forum for sharing information on future projects and connecting with partners across the industry.
