County roundup: Palmyra welcomes new zoning inspector, plus news from Edinburg and Paris

- Roger Gordon

Paris

The Paris Township trustees approved the installation of an 11-foot-by-14-foot, 5-inch thick concrete pad beneath a new 10-foot-by-10-foot storage structure at Hawley Cemetery. The new building will replace the current one recently purchased by the township, which will soon be torn down. The cost is $3,800, and the project will be done by Luketic Construction. Work will begin within the next month.


Paris Fire Chief Derek Reed is using $1,289.75 of EMS grant money to purchase new accountability tags – tearaway vests – for members of the fire department. Also being purchased from Ziegler Tire at a cost of $995.12 are new tires for Reed’s work vehicle.

Edinburg

The Edinburg Township trustees meeting originally scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 26, has been changed to Tuesday, Nov. 24, at the same time due to the Thanksgiving holiday.

Trustees meetings are held at the Township Hall at 6856 Tallmadge Rd.  


The township’s annual Trunk or Treat was held on Oct. 25 at the Township Hall. Some 75 children enjoyed going car to car for treats.

Palmyra

Sandy Nutter retired as Palmyra’s zoning inspector after 32 years on the job. Replacing her is Lydia Henry.


The township’s annual Trunk or Treat Oct. 25 at the township park was a smashing success. Approximately 90 children were there.
