US 224 SIDEWALK AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS
Through a grant with the Ohio Department of Transportation, the City of Willard will replace all sidewalks on US 224 between Main Street and Myrtle Ave.  The new sidewalks will be handicap accessible and 5 feet wide.  Other pedestrian improvements will occur with this project.  We hope to secure additional funding in the future for the rest of US 224.

WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
The City completed a water system analysis to identify where our water system needs improved.  We have engineered the project and are currently looking to bid the project out.  These improvements will occur at the water plant itself and the reservoir.  Supply issues and increases in project costs have delayed the project. 

PARK STREET WATERLINE PROJECT
The City replaced the 4" waterline on Park Street with an 8" waterline and removed all lead service lines.  This summer, the City will then pave the road with our annual pavement project.

OHIO PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSION PROJECTS
Every year we apply for a grant from the Ohio Public Works Commission.  This grant money is competitively awarded and every year for over the last ten years we have won a portion of that grant money.  We are happy to report that the City’s 2023 Street Improvements project has been recommended for approval and the City is set to receive over $100,000 in awards.

RECREATIONAL PROJECTS IN THE WORKS
FITCORE OBSTACLE COURSE at the Willard Park (Similar to the TV Show Ninja Warrior).  This is a partnership with the Willard City Schools and Huron County Health Department.  The majority of this project is being funded by grant money.  Planned installation is in 2023.

DOG PARK.  We applied for and received just over $12,000 from an Ohio Department of Natural Resources grant.  Fundraising is in the works for the remaining money needed for this project.

NEW PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT.  We applied for and received over $100,000 in a state grant for new playground equipment.  

OTHER PROJECTS
The City is working with Columbia Gas on a large gas main replacement project in 2023.  We are also working with Frontier on a City wide fiber optic installation project also in 2023.
