Newburgh Heights awarded
$150,000 road resurfacing grant

Cuyahoga County Council has accepted the recommendations of the County Department of Development and awarded the Village of Newburgh Heights a grant in the amount of $150,000 to resurface
Washington Park Blvd. from Washington Court to the Maine Monument. Additionally, the village will tap $38,000 of its sewer fund monies to clean storm sewers and replace a number of catch basins as part of the project.

"I am very excited to work with Council to tackle so many significant infrastructure projects in my first year in office," said Mayor Trevor Elkins.

The project is scheduled to be completed by late summer.
Community Development Block Grants are awarded on a competitive basis throughout the county and are funded by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The process includes a written application to prove need, public notifications, hearings and input from professional engineers.

Dear Resident:

In the weeks to come the Village will be planting trees in the tree lawns on your street. The purpose of these trees is to improve the quality of life for all residents of the Village of Newburgh Hts.

These trees, as they grow, will shade the hot asphalt in summer and slow the cold winter winds saving money in both heating and air conditioning costs. They will increase the aesthetic beauty of our community. Studies have shown that trees have a host of benefits. Some of these include reduced crime, slower traffic, and increased property values. Trees  also improve health  by reducing stress and enriching the environment in which we live.
While you and your home will receive the bulk of value from these trees, your neighbors and the entire community stand to benefit as well.

Please remember, these trees are property of the Village just like the streets and lamp posts.  They have been specifically chosen for our urban environment.  They will NOT cause sewer problems nor damage the sidewalks. The only thing we ask of you is to leave the tree alone. The Village will water and mulch the trees to help them survive and increase in value and beauty.

For more information on urban forestry and other tree related questions, please visit the Ohio Division of Forestry website at http://forestry.ohiodnr.gov/urbanforestrytoolbox or the Arbor Day Foundation website at https://www.arborday.org/trees/index-benefits.cfm.

If you have any questions please feel free to call Village Hall at 216.641.4650.

Thank you,
Trevor K. Elkins
Mayor
