SHARON TOWNSHIP – When Sharon Township trustees met briefly Nov. 22, they learned from Bob Turek, township maintenance supervisor, that the new plow/salt truck, a 2016 Kenworth, has already been utilized during the recent snowfall. This truck replaces a 2006 International plow truck. The truck is painted green (one of Highland’s colors) and boasts a Highland Hornet logo to show community support for Highland schools.

Eagle Scout project

For his Eagle Scout project, Boy Scout Greg Karwowski was given the go-ahead by trustees to construct a “Little Free Library,” with a completion deadline of the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. The “Little Free Library” is a help-yourself small book facility that will be placed near the west door of the administration building. It will measure 2-feet by 4-feet. One can bring a book (or more) and take out a book to read, thus keeping the ever-changing supply of available books constant. However, if one wishes to keep a book for his or her personal library rather than return it, this is permitted.

Applications for appointments to zoning boards

Applications for positions on the board of zoning appeals and zoning commission will be accepted through Dec. 23. Interested residents should mail applications to Sharon Township Trustees, P.O. Box 7, Sharon Center, OH 44274, or drop off at the zoning office in the administration building weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
