Dear Villagers,

We finished 2024 with a strong financial standing and significant progress toward our three strategic priorities: safety, environmental stewardship, and community engagement. These accomplishments were made possible through a spirit of collaboration and neighborliness, values that are cherished by many communities. We are putting the final touches on our 2024 annual report, which will highlight these achievements. Look for it in your mailbox in the coming weeks.

Dear Villagers,

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday— a celebration of gratitude for our many blessings, family and friends.

Soon, the holiday season will be upon us. The Village will be lit like the North Pole, the bonfire wood will be stacked and dried ready for Christmas Eve, bridge boxes will be replanted, and menorah candles will be in place among other holiday traditions shared by other cultures. In our home, we have completed cookie baking with over thirty different types that we enjoy sharing throughout the next eight weeks.

Dear Villagers,

October is coming to a close after a beautiful month of mild weather and glorious colors. November brings us the elections and then a promise of holidays with family and friends through the end of the year.

Regarding the August 6th storm, our recovery claim and those of other municipalities in the county were declined by FEMA. We are resubmitting to the State of Ohio.

We hope to hear your views on two topics - Zoning and Broadband-in the next eight weeks.
