From Home Energy Assistance Program

The Ohio Development Services Agency and the Area Agency on Aging 3 want to remind Ohioans that assistance is available to help with their home energy bills. The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) provides Ohioans at or below 175 percent of the federal poverty level with a benefit to help pay their heating bills.

Applied directly to the customer’s utility or bulk fuel bill, the benefit can help manage heating costs during the cold winter months. Customers who are threatened with disconnection, or have been disconnected from their utility service, may also be eligible for the HEAP Winter Crisis Program.

Only $2,685 needed to pay off the $66,075 improvement project

Drive past the tennis courts at War Memorial Park.

You may not believe what you see.

Thanks to a community effort by a tennis courts resurfacing fundraiser that started last fall the courts look – well, very inviting.

But, it still needs some little tender-loving donations to be completed.

The renovation project cost $66,075 and funding from all sources has reached $63,390, which means the committee seeks its final $2,685 to complete the improvement project.

The costs included $55,125 for an asphalt overlay and acrylic resurfacer, plus $10,950 to remove and replace fence fabric with tension wire.
