Residents of Licking Township:
It appears that summer has quickly transitioned into the first days of fall. Record rainfall in August triggered historic flooding across Licking Township and our surrounding communities, with the effects seen in many yards, fields, lakes, and creeks. We sincerely hope everyone has dried out, recovered from the weather, and can look forward to milder days ahead.
While our local students head back to school and the lazy days of summer give way to football games, harvesting, fall clean-up, and busy schedules, Licking Township has also been hard at work preparing for the upcoming fall and winter seasons.
When not managing washouts and dodging raindrops, the Licking Township Road Department crew has been busy mowing, installing culverts, and placing road signs throughout the township. They have also completed annual equipment maintenance and recently contracted for road resurfacing and crack sealing on various township roads.
Licking Township Fire Company has been equally active, responding to over 956 runs so far this year. In addition to providing daily fire and EMS services, the department has completed its annual gear safety testing (including hoses, ladders, and air packs) and conducted numerous fire inspections. LTFC will also soon provide fire prevention classes for students at both Lakewood Local Schools and Eagle Wings Academy.
Our zoning boards are keeping busy as well. The Licking Township Zoning Commission is currently evaluating zoning regulations and map changes, while the Board of Zoning Appeals has held several hearings for local variances. We are currently seeking a candidate to serve as an alternate on the Zoning Commission and are accepting letters of interest and resumes through 10/31/26. Please visit the Licking Township website homepage for further details.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to your trustees:
Sincerely,
John Cormican, Chairman
Licking Township Trustees
