Thanks for great participation from the public

Thank you!
Community involvement and input is a vital aspect of many of our improvement projects in the Village of Ada. On Tuesday night, over 25 people attended the public meeting held at the Ada Exempted Schools building to discuss the upcoming Klingler Road Reconstruction Project, the Safe Routes to School Project, and the Village’s sidewalk cost sharing program. The questions, comments and input of the public is greatly appreciated by Ada Village Council and administration.

If you are interested in more information on any of these programs, please contact Jim, Jamie or Angela in the Village Offices, 419-634-4045.

The Ada Food Pantry, located in the basement of the Presbyterian Church, serves about 180 families yearly.  About 30 families use the pantry every month.

All food is donated by organizations and individuals. This is not government run. The Boy Scouts and Public Library have annual food drives. The ONU food service is also a big help. Several campus organizations give food, as well.

The pantry serves residents of Liberty and Washington townships. Each visitor's food lasts them about three days. Adults on disability, senior citizens, families with one to nine children are among those served.

You'll never guess where Ada gets some of the salt on the street in front of your house

There is probably a little bit of Morocco on the road in front of your house as a portion of the salt being spread in Ohio this winter comes from that African nation. 

But, no matter where the salt comes from, it's good news that Ada should have an ample supply to spread on roads this winter.
