Wanted: Concord History
The Recreation Department is seeking Concord history! Concord Township will celebrate its Bicentennial in 2022. To honor our Township and its residents, we are writing a book about our history. We need your old photos of Concord! Please consider donating or sharing (we will scan and give back) pictures of your family, business or property throughout the years. Are you a long-time resident? We would love to interview you and capture your stories to share. For more information, call 440-639-4650 or email desker@concordtwp.com .

Concord Township is working with Lemay, Erickson, Willcox architects for the planning, design and construction documentation for the future replacement of Concord Township’s fire stations.

We recently received preliminary renderings for both fire stations. We are continuously planning for our future needs and are working diligently to maintain fiscal responsibility.

We invite you to visit the Concord Facts page or the Fire Department page of the Township website where we will keep you up to date on our activities.
