Living in Ada

The reconstruction of East Lima Avenue continues to progress well. The crews will soon be reaching a point in construction where it will be necessary to close South Main Street at the Lima Avenue intersection to allow the crews to safely work on sewer lines.

This closure is planned to begin Monday, June 2. Detours will be posted for the area.

Please keep in mind your safety and the safety of the crews working. Do not move barricades or attempt to drive or walk through areas that have been marked as “closed.”

Ada and Hardin County voters have much to decide in Tuesday’s election, so don’t forget to vote!

There is one state-wide issue on the ballot, and it is an important one for Ada and Hardin County. Issue 1 proposes to fund public infrastructure capital improvements by permitting the issuance of general obligation bonds. Such infrastructure improvements are administered through the Ohio Public Works Commission, and are currently referred to as Issue II. Issue II was first passed by Ohio voters in 1987. Since 1987, Hardin County has received over $40 million in grant and loan money through Issue II, and Ada has received over $7 million of the $40 million.

All around the nation, Arbor Day will be celebrated this Friday, April 25th. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, an estimated one million trees were planted in Nebraska on the first Arbor Day in April 1872.

In their annual tradition, Ada Tree Commission is excited to visit with Ada 3rd graders on May 2nd to talk about Arbor Day and planting and caring for the trees around us. Mayor Davis Retterer once again has invited the students to be active artist participants in the celebration by drawing pictures of trees and creatures that attack trees.
