Letter to Residents - Summer 2026

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 excited to announce we’ve been awarded a grant totaling $127,208.00 through the Ohio Public Works Commission for road repaving in Licking Township. These monies, combined with township funds will help us complete 1 of 2 planned road repaving projects in the Avondale area!

Did you know that our road department technicians have been busy ditching, spraying & crack sealing? And, despite some rainy days, Rob & Jason are putting the recently purchased Case Tractor w/mower and new flail mower to good use keeping things trim and tidy in the township.

Licking Township Fire Company is hard at work too. Our 1st responders have tended to 518 Fire/EMS runs so far this year. 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. LTFC crew have participated in recent training including Midrise Operations Training at Dawes Arboretum, Forcible Entry Training, and Boat Training. One more bit of exciting news…LTFC anticipates taking delivery of a new grass truck in the next few weeks. We will post the new truck photos soon!

The Township Trustees recently voted to adopt several text amendments to the Licking Township Zoning Resolution. These amendments included edits and corrections while also updating several sections of the resolution that will help ensure we are meeting the expanding zoning needs in the community. Our Zoning Commission will continue their work on additional amendments to help prepare us for future township zoning needs.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact Trustee John Cormican @ 740-899-6451; Trustee Dave Miller @ 740-404-4720; or Trustee Greg Smith @ 740-404-9507

Wishing you a safe and enjoyable summer!

John Cormican, Chairman
