Licking Twp & Crossroads Community Planning LLC held a community presentation on 3/27/25 at Lakewood High School. Please see the presentation and poster boards that were available for view at the meeting.
We are proud to announce that Licking Township was recently awarded a grant through the Ohio Public Works Program Commission (OPWC) to partially fund the resurfacing of a portion of Fairmount Road. The project start date is 10/22/24 and must be completed by 06/01/25.
Earlier in 2024, Licking Township announced having been awarded a separate grant from OPWC for various roads in the Avondale neighborhood. That project is now complete.
Through the generous grants from OPWC over the past several years, our township has been able to complete more than $650,000.00 in road repaving projects.
Thank you OPWC!

Residents of Licking Township:
As we turn the calendar over to the "dog days of summer" we wanted to share how things are heating up around the township...
First, we are pleased to announce that on June 16, 2025, the Licking Township Trustees voted unanimously to adopt a new Licking Township Comprehensive Plan. This newly adopted plan replaces the previous Comp Plan adopted in 2002! The Licking Township Trustees wish to thank the Zoning Commission Members; Licking Township Strategic Committee; & Crossroads Community Planning for their contributions and efforts in developing a new comprehensive plan that will help serve as a vision and guide for Licking Township for many years to come. We also would like to express our gratitude to the residents, property owners, and key stakeholders all of whom provided feedback through surveys, public meetings, and/or public hearings. We are confident that this new comprehensive plan will prepare us for the inevitable growth and development in our community and will guide us as we look to make updates to or zoning resolution. (Please see the Planning Page of our website for the complete Comprehensive Plan).
We are also excited to report that Licking Township is in the process of applying for a 2026 OPW Grant for paving of several roads in the Avondale area. Stay tuned for more details as we work through the application and award process.
Did you know that our road department technicians have been busy ditching, spraying, crack sealing, and mowing? Although an unusually wet spring may have impacted our ability to mow at times, we are working hard to keep things trim and tidy between the raindrops.
Licking Township Fire Company is hard at work too. Our 1st responders have tended to 673 Fire/EMS/Dive or water rescue runs so far this year. This is up from last year’s run totals. In addition, they have been hard at work completing the required equipment, hose, gear testing, and keeping our Fire/EMS fleet maintained and ready to roll at a moment’s notice. One more bit of exciting news…LTFC anticipates taking delivery of the new fire engine in the next few months. This is the unit being rebuilt after it was struck on I-70 while responding to an accident on June 24, 2023! We will post the new truck photos soon!
Should you have any questions, please contact Trustee John Holman @ 740-404-4721; Trustee Dave Miller @ 740-404-4720; or Trustee John Cormican @ 740-899-6451.
Wishing you all a safe and happy summer!
Sincerely,
John Holman, Chairman
