Don't forget to vote on Tuesday

Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Ada and Hardin County voters have much to decide in Tuesday’s election, so don’t forget to vote!

There is one state-wide issue on the ballot, and it is an important one for Ada and Hardin County. Issue 1 proposes to fund public infrastructure capital improvements by permitting the issuance of general obligation bonds. Such infrastructure improvements are administered through the Ohio Public Works Commission, and are currently referred to as Issue II. Issue II was first passed by Ohio voters in 1987. Since 1987, Hardin County has received over $40 million in grant and loan money through Issue II, and Ada has received over $7 million of the $40 million.

Village Voice: Village brush pick up/chipping service April 7

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, April 2, 2014

Have the winds of this winter helped ‘trim’ a few of your trees?
Do you need to have some limbs picked up and chipped?
Now is your chance!

The village will conduct a monthly service of brush pick up/chipping and pick up on Monday, April 7.

One of the goals of brush chipping and pickup is to keep the tree lawn areas of the village clear of debris, so that debris litter does not enter the storm sewer system. Brush or storm debris in the tree lawn area may be picked up by the village, and residents may place additional brush for chipping in that area.
