News in Ada

The ReStore Community Center, 210 N. Main St., has served Ada and the surrounding communities for almost 13 years. 

While the center’s board, staff, and volunteers remain as committed as ever to continue serving the area, they will soon be doing so under a new name, and are asking the community’s help in choosing it.

“The ReStore name has served us well,” Robert Kanzig, Executive Director for the ReStore Community Center, said.  “It, for better or worse, has also served Habitat for Humanity well for longer.”

Michael Harnishfeger, Ada village zoning inspector, released to the Icon the building permits for the first quarter of 2019. They follow:

Jan, 7 - Dennis Garbrecht, handicapped ramp, 302 E. North Ave.
Jan. 17 - Christopher Short, duplex, 931 S. Main St., estimated at $20,000
Feb. 22 - Joe Campbell, 515 N. Liberty St., storage shed
March 11 - Deb Curlis, 811 S. Johnson St., fence

Harnishfeger said that in 2018 Ada had 56 building permits totalling $27,714,407. That figure included the Ohio Northern University engineering building, estimated at $25,000,000. Not counting that permit, the 2018 total was $2,714,407.
