Seeking Candidates for Zoning Commission Board & Board of Zoning Appeals
We are proud to announce that Licking Township was recently awarded a grant through the Ohio Public Works Program Commission (OPWC) to partially fund the resurfacing of a portion of Fairmount Road. The project start date is 10/22/24 and must be completed by 06/01/25.
Earlier in 2024, Licking Township announced having been awarded a separate grant from OPWC for various roads in the Avondale neighborhood. That project is now complete.
Through the generous grants from OPWC over the past several years, our township has been able to complete more than $650,000.00 in road repaving projects.
Thank you OPWC!
Residents of Licking Township:
It appears that summer has quickly transitioned into the first days of fall. Record low rainfall has certainly resulted in Ohio experiencing historic drought conditions and the effects are being seen in area fields, forests, lawns, lakes, and ponds. Although this may mean a welcome break from lawn mowing and yardwork, the affects can be devastating to farmers, businesses, and property owners. Licking Township is no exception to this.
And, while area students head back to school, the lazy days of summer have been replaced by football games, harvesting, fall clean-up, and busy schedules. Licking Township is also busy preparing for the upcoming fall and winter season.
The Licking Township Road Department has been hard at work mowing and ditching throughout the township; completing annual maintenance on equipment; and recently began the process of applying for funding through the Ohio Public Works Commission for 2025 paving projects!
Licking Township Fire Company has been equally busy. To date LTFC has tended to over 900 runs. In addition to providing Fire & EMS services daily to our community, annual fire gear testing has been completed (ie. hose, ladder, air pac, etc); numerous fire inspections conducted; and LTFC will soon be providing fire prevention classes for students at both Lakewood Local Schools and Eagle Wings Academy.
Our Zoning Boards are keeping busy as well. The Licking Township Zoning Commission is hard at work evaluating the current zoning regulations while the Board of Zoning Appeals has held several hearings for area variances. We are seeking candidates for openings on both boards and are accepting letters of interest/resumes. Please see the Licking Township website home page for further details.
And as always, should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Trustee John Holman @ 740-404-4721; Trustee Dave Miller @ 740-404-4720; or Trustee John Cormican @ 740-899-6451.
Sincerely,
John Holman, Chairman
