The Village Voice: Don't forget to vote Nov. 4

Posted by Fred Steiner on Saturday, October 18, 2014

Early voting on the November ballot is underway in Ohio, and local citizens have a number of initiatives to consider. For more information on voting, issues and candidates, please visit the Hardin County Board of Elections website at http://co.hardin.oh.us/boe/.

Included on the ballot is a Village of Ada proposed municipal income tax renewal. This proposed levy is for a continuation of the current 0.15% levy on income tax, so it does not result in an increase in taxes. The stated purpose of the levy is for repairs, maintenance, operations and improvements at the Village of Ada’s swimming pool.

Village Voice: Another great Harvest and Herb Festival

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, September 29, 2014

Another great Harvest and Herb Festival filled Main Street on Saturday! Downtown Ada was full of people, festival food, vendors and of course, the parade. Ada certainly put its best face forward.

This year, the beautiful flower baskets on our decorative light poles in the Depot had a light shown on them during the Harvest and Herb Festival. Many people stopped by to admire the flower baskets and donate to the flower fund. We want to thank everyone for the appreciative words and donations to the fund!

Village Voice: Ada is the place to be this weekend

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, September 18, 2014

Ada is the place to be this weekend! On Saturday, Main Street comes alive the same way it does every September – the Harvest and Herb Festival hits the street. This Saturday is also Family Day at ONU, and ONU is encouraging family members to visit the community of Ada as part of the festivities. We’re not kidding; Ada is the place to be!

This weekend is a great time to show some of your Ada Pride! Please help us keep our community looking great. If you see trash on sidewalks, please pick it up and place it in the appropriate trash receptacle. If the sunshine prompts you to mow, make sure your grass clippings are not on the sidewalks or in the streets.

AEP contractors will start clearing tree limbs from utility lines

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, September 3, 2014

The Village has received notice that AEP will have contractors in the Village in three to six weeks to work on clearing tree limbs from utility lines. 

For this year’s work, trees that AEP contractors have marked with a yellow dot indicate tree trimming and trees marked with a red X indicate removal. The contractor will leave the wood for your use.

Utility line clearing is an important and necessary aspect for utility companies. By reducing the number of risks to electrical lines, utility companies can reduce the number of power outages.
