TRUSTEE CORNER

With spring finally here, our Service Department is eagerly jumping into some critical community improvement projects. They continue to do a tremendous amount of work in-house to make the best use of our budget dollars. The Township was recently awarded the contract for the joint road program. The 2022 resurfacing project will improve eight of our roads (David, Bryan, Stonewyck, Nature View, Ridgewater, Clearlake, Breezewood, and Conley.) 


In addition, the Service Department will continue with in-house concrete slab replacements throughout the Township. During the spring and summer construction, please remember to slow down. It is important to reduce your speed to allow for more time to adjust to unforeseen circumstances. The warmer weather also brings out many pedestrians, dog walkers, bicyclists and motorcyclists. Please be courteous and yield to pedestrians and bicyclists when turning. 


In light of some recent local crime, we’d like to remind residents to lock vehicles and to not keep valuables in vehicles. Lake County and surrounding counties have experienced vehicle break-ins and stolen vehicles in the recent weeks. Be vigilant! If you see anything suspicious, call your local law enforcement agency.


The use of our parks and green spaces is definitely increasing with the warmer springtime weather. We are fortunate to be partnered with Lake Metroparks to enjoy this vast amount of natural park space. Lake Metroparks offers 38 diverse parks and maintains more than 60 miles of trails throughout Lake County. Make sure you take some time to explore these parkstrails and waterfalls this spring! 

 

Speaking of Springtime activities, the Pickle Ball and Tennis nets are going up so practice your footwork and get ready to play!


Have a great April, Concord!

SERVICE DEPARTMENT

As spring and summer approach, the Service Department ready’s for the upcoming construction season. The past winter was hard on roadways everywhere. The Service Department crews have been out evaluating the roads in Concord Township and making necessary repairs as needed. The 2022 Joint Road Resurfacing projects will be getting underway this spring. The roads to be Asphalt resurfaced this year are Brian Dr, David Dr, Stonewyke Dr, and Nature View Ct. Other roads in the Township to be resurfaced are Breezwood Dr, Conley Dr, Clearlake Dr, and Ridgewater Dr. These roadways will receive an Asphalt intermediate layer with a chip seal with fog coat surface course. Additionally the Service Department crews will be out performing Concrete Slab replacement and preventative maintenance to Township roadways throughout the Township. 


The Service Department will offer the Yard Waste drop off site again this year beginning on April 4 through June 6. The drop off site will be open Monday – Friday from 7:30am to 2:30pm . All Yard Waste is to be in paper biodegradable bags. No brush, logs, landscape timbers or loose yard waste is permitted. The Service Department will also offer Brush collection days, dates and information can be found on the Concord Township website under Service Department.


The Service Department is also excited about the 2022 baseball and softball season and will begin preparing the fields as soon as the weather allows. Pickle Ball court nets will be up the first week of April and we expect the new Pickle Ball courts to be busy. The Tennis courts received new nets this year and will also be installed the first week of April. 


April 29 Concord Township will celebrate Arbor Day with a Tree planting at the Town Hall complex. A species of an Oak tree will be planted and dedicated to Concord’s 200th Birthday. Information for the event can be found on the Concord website.


Residents with questions or concerns are advised to contact the Service Department Monday – Friday from 7:00am- 3:30pm at 440-350-3225 or at concordtwp.com under Service Department. We hope all residents have a chance to enjoy all that Concord Township has to offer in its Bicentennial year.

TOWNSHIP CEMETERY

yellow-daffodils-flower-bed-royalty-free-image-1582665729.jpg

DID YOU KNOW:


  • All plantings in the cemetery must be approved by the Cemetery Sexton.
  • Concord Township reserves the right to maintain plantings, which may include trimming or removal if deemed necessary and will not be replaced.
  • Cemetery approved plantings are to be located in front of your monument; anything outside of your lot (behind a monument or in some cases the side) belongs to someone else. Plantings should not impede the ability to get equipment through.
  • Perennials are to be maintained yearly:
  • If the perennial is a spring or early-summer bloomer, divide in the fall.
  • If the perennial blooms in the late summer or fall, divide in the spring
  • We do not recommend you place sentimental items on the graves as they may get lost, stolen or damaged.


For more information visit the website at or call the Cemetery Office at 440-354-7518 for any questions.
