Avon commission submits Ohio Historical Marker application for Avon Center Cemetery
Summary
The Avon Landmarks Preservation Commission submitted an Ohio Historical Marker application for Avon Center Cemetery on April 26, 2026; the Ohio History Connection acknowledged receipt April 28 and will notify applicants by mid‑August. The commission did not request grant funding.
The Avon Landmarks Preservation Commission reported that it submitted an application to the Ohio Historical Markers Program for the Avon Center Cemetery on April 26, 2026. Chair Cynthia Murnyack‑Czarnecki read an acknowledgment email dated April 28 from Dr. Betsy Hedler, the Markers Program manager at the Ohio History Connection, describing the staff review, ranking process, and the mid‑August notification timeline.
The email, read aloud by the chair, asked applicants to "refrain from making inquiry" before the mid‑August notification window; the commission did not request grant funding for the marker. Vice‑Chair Ralph White confirmed the commission's understanding that, without a grant, the City of Avon would bear the cost of a marker if the application is approved. The commission will await formal notice from the Ohio History Connection.
