Clarification: The second annual free Fourth of July Holiday Concert on Saturday, July 2, featuring the Lima Symphony Orchestra, will be held outdoors on the mall of Ohio Northern University as it was last year. It will be held inside the Field House at ONU only in the event of inclement weather. The article about the event incorrectly stated that the concert would be held in the Field House and not outdoors. The article also incorrectly listed the date of the next Ada Village Council meeting as Tuesday, June 7. It is Tuesday, May 17.
Members of Ada’s village council granted Mayor David Retter the authority to start forming an Energy Special Improvement District so that the village, Ohio Northern University, local businesses and apartment complexes can apply for low-interest loans for energy conservation projects.
Ada council will hold a special committee meeting at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, March 29, on the ONU campus, according to Angela Polachek of the village.
The meeting takes place in Room 113 of the Mathile Center for Natural Sciences, just off West Lincoln Avenue.
Teresa Smith of the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority will talk about Property Assessed Clean Energy financing (PACE). Under this program PACE can finance energy saving projects from $25,000 to $9 million. It offers 15-year loans at rates between 4.5% and 5.5%
