Mayor Naseman urges support for Issue 2 (OPWC) renewal, previews America 250 plans and logo update
Summary
Mayor Cindy Naseman told the council April 8 that Ohio will place a Constitutional amendment on the May 6 ballot to renew Issue 2 (OPWC), encouraged support given Anna's past awards, and said the village will select a new logo next week as part of America 250 marketing and events planning.
Mayor Cindy Naseman told the council April 8 that Ohio will place a Constitutional amendment on the May 6, 2025 ballot to renew Issue 2, the state capital improvement program that provides Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC) funds to local governments.
"Ohio is placing a Constitutional amendment on the May 6, 2025 ballot to renew the issue 2 State capital improvement program, which provides OPWC local government infrastructure funds," Naseman said, and she asked council to consider supporting the renewal, noting the Village of Anna has received OPWC funds in prior years.
Naseman also reported that Shelby County plans to donate a white oak tree to each community for the 2026 America 250 celebration and that Anna's tree will be planted in the park. She said the America 250 committee has encouraged each state to participate and that the village's marketing folder and brochure are being prepared. The Mayor has asked the designer to update the Village logo; council will review options and choose a new logo next week for inclusion in marketing materials and other village items.
Why it matters: renewal of Issue 2 affects the availability of state infrastructure funding that the village has used in the past for local projects; a renewed program could influence future capital projects, including sidewalks, public works and other community improvements.
Next steps: council will review logo options next week and staff will continue outreach related to Issue 2 and America 250 activities.
