Terrace Park accepts Crowley family donation and authorizes Ohio River Foundation right-of-entry for Miami Grove shelter
Summary
Council adopted a resolution authorizing a right-of-entry agreement with the Ohio River Foundation so a Crowley-family donation can fund construction of a shelter at Miami Grove; council said the village will take possession and maintain the structure after construction.
The Village of Terrace Park council on March 19 unanimously approved a right-of-entry agreement enabling the Ohio River Foundation to construct a shelter house at Miami Grove funded by a donation from the Crowley family.
Resident Sean Crowley told the council he would like to donate money — through the Ohio River Foundation — to build the structure in memory of Kristen, who cared about nature and walked at the preserve. Mrs. Sharp introduced resolution 3-3-2025 authorizing the village administrator to enter a right-of-entry agreement with the Ohio River Foundation for the shelter-house project.
Council moved to adopt the resolution as an emergency and voiced unanimous approval. The mayor explained the agreement authorizes construction on village property and said the village would either accept a subsequent deed or sign a maintenance agreement so the village would take possession and maintain the shelter in perpetuity after completion.
Council thanked Crowley and described the gift as generous. The resolution provides the mechanism for the Ohio River Foundation to work on village property and for the village to assume long-term maintenance responsibilities following construction.
