Residents of Licking Township:
Autumn is here…and with it fall clean-up, cheering on our favorite football teams, and enjoying one last splash of nature’s vibrant colors. But, before the ice and snow arrives, we wanted to take a moment and check-in with YOU… our township residents and share what we’ve been up to.
The Licking Township Road Department remains hard at work mowing, trimming, and tending to township roads and ditches. They are also busy readying equipment for the inevitable arrival of the white stuff. Be assured our salt barns are loaded and ready for whatever weather the upcoming winter has to offer. We are super excited to announce that the Licking Township Road Department was awarded approximately $32,000.00 through a Township Safety Sign Grant! This grant will allow us to upgrade over 200 signs and posts throughout the township. You will see new STOP signs including red reflective posts, new yellow and black safety signs (i.e. chevrons, curve signs, etc.), new sign posts, and hardware too!
If you are out and about, you may notice that Harbor Hills roads have all been repaved. This project was completed in cooperation with the Licking County water upgrade project and thanks to an OPW grant. We are so proud that this project is complete! Also, be sure and check out Sanford Cemetery on Route 13. Our Road Department along with others, helped clean-out several trees, brush, and a fence line on the south side of the cemetery. We even collaborated with the neighboring property owner to plant arborvitae trees and grass. In addition to the Sanford Cemetery beautification project, volunteers from the American Legion and Boy Scouts are making plans to clean the vinyl fence at Freeman Memorial Cemetery in Harbor Hills. We are so proud of both of these clean-up efforts and appreciate the hard work and collaboration!
Licking Township Fire Company has also been hard at work. In addition to their regular duties, LTFC recently held Fire Safety demonstrations for the students of both Lakewood Local School District & Eagle Wings Academy and has been providing EMS coverage at Lancer Stadium throughout the LHS Football season. We are also excited to announce that LTFC was recently awarded a grant for $225,600.00 which will be used to replace 23 SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatus) that our firefighters use daily. The new SCBAs will replace aged units from 1997-2007.
Our Zoning Department has been busy too! Since July, our Zoning Inspector has issued over 21 zoning permits, received 7 variance requests & 1 text amendment request and enforced numerous zoning violations. The Licking Township Zoning Commission Board continues their invaluable work on updating the zoning regulations and addressing text amendment requests while our Board of Zoning Appeals has heard 7 variance requests since July with 4 more slated for October and November. We do not foresee our zoning work slowing down any time soon!!
Please be sure to keep up to date by visiting our website, reading meeting minutes, or attending meetings. Meeting dates and times can be found on our website under township calendar & are also posted on the LED sign located in front of the fire station.
And as always, if you have any questions, please contact Trustee John Holman 740-404-4721; Trustee Dave Miller 740-404-4720; or Trustee John Cormican 740-899-6451. We are here to serve you!
Happy Fall!
