Land bank in the
works for county
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
Local government leaders have started the process of creating a
land bank. The first organizational meeting likely will take place
later this month.
A land bank, known formally as
a land reutilization corporation, is a
public authority or non-profit organization
that acquires unproductive
properties for the purpose of returning
them to productive use in the
community. Their parameters are
outlined in the Ohio Revised Code
(ORC).
“Our goal is to take properties
that are not contributing to the local
tax base and local community—properties
the private market doesn’t
seem to want at this time—then
make them attractive for new investment,”
said David Kell, Madison
County’s director of economic development
and planning.
Land banks can acquire land through tax foreclosures, municipal
government transfers, auctions, donations, or open-market purchases.
The Madison County land bank likely will focus on acquiring
land through foreclosures, Kell said,
with some land donations, as well.
“We don’t want to disrupt the private
market,” Kell said. “If an individual or company
wants to buy a property through the

normal processes, that’s what we encourage.
This is more for donated property or
property that doesn’t sell at auction.”
By law, land banks can acquire land at
little or no cost through property tax foreclosures
and with a clear title and/or elimination
of back taxes. Land banks can hold
properties tax-free. They must manage and
maintain the properties. Responsibilities
could include mowing, making sure the
property is secure, environmental cleanup,
and/or rehabilitation.
The Madison County land bank does not
plan to hold onto properties for a long time,
nor does it plan to acquire every foreclosed
or donated property that comes along, Kell
said. The idea is to turn the properties
around and sell them for productive use,
whether that’s for housing, commercial development,
or other purposes that benefit
the community.
“We’re going to be selective,” Kell said.
“Everything will be evaluated on a case by
case basis.”

Installation of new playground equipment
at Westwood Park in West Jefferson
has begun.
Crews started work the week of Dec. 26.
John Mitchell, the village’s director of public
service, expects the first part of the installation
to be completed in a week or two.
Equipment geared for children ages 2 to
12 years old is going in now at the front of
the park where two of the old tennis courts
used to be. Slides, swings, climbing apparatus,
and a merry-go-round with room for
wheelchairs are among the pieces being installed.
This playground will be divided
into two areas: one geared to 2- to 5-year
olds; the other geared to 5- to 12-year-olds.
Once the playground for younger children
is complete, crews will move on to a
second play area located at the back of the
park for ages 13 and older. It will consist
of an eight-station obstacle course.
Rubber surfaces will go down under
both playgrounds this spring.
The playground equipment is one part
of the village’s overall improvement plan
for the park. The basketball court has already
been refurbished. One of the old ten-

nis courts has been converted. It now doubles as a tennis court or
two pickleball courts. The nets will go up when the weather
breaks.
The final project will be installation of trails throughout the
park. The hope is that the trails will go in this year, Mitchell said.

Candidates must file by Feb. 1 for May ballot
By Kristy Zurbrick
Madison Editor
The 2023 primary election is slated for
May 2. The deadline to declare candidacy
for seats up for election on the May 2 ballot
is 4 p.m. Feb. 1.
The seats up for election are:
• Madison County municipal court
judge—six-year term.
• London mayor—four-year term.
• London council president—two-year
term.
• London city auditor—four-year term.
• London law director—four-year term.
• London council members at-large—
three seats, each with two-year terms.
• London council member for Ward 1—
two-year term.
• London council member for Ward 2—
two-year term.
• London council member for Ward 3—
two-year term.
• London council member for Ward 4—
two-year term.
• West Jefferson mayor—four-year term.
In the county and London races, the top
vote getter in each race in the primary election
will move on to the Nov. 7 general election.
The West Jefferson mayor’s race will only
appear on the May 2 ballot if at least three
individuals file for candidacy. In that case,
the top two vote getters in the primary will
move onto the general election. If there are
two or fewer candidates, the race will not

and management, Kell said the land bank
has a few avenues it can pursue. The county
treasurer’s office can set aside some of its
Delinquent Tax and Assessment Collection
funds for the land bank. Government entities
in the county can put seed money into
the land bank.
“We will need to have those dollars if we
take on property,” Kell said.
Once the land bank is up and running,
proceeds from its property sales will go back
into maintaining and managing its other
properties.
The land bank will work closely with
townships and municipalities in the county.
“The last thing we want to do is have a
local community out of the loop, not knowing
what’s going on, and get surprised by
something happening in their community,”
Kell said.
County officials have been talking for
several years about creating a land bank.
They have seen other communities use
them successfully and thought now was the
right time to create one, Kell said.
“More than ever, in the decade I’ve been
here, this is the most active it’s been when
appear on the primary ballot. Those candidates
will appear on the general election
ballot.
For information about how to file for candidacy,
contact the Madison County Board
of Elections at (740) 852-9424. Or visit the
office, 1423 State Route 38 SE, London (just
north of Fairhaven School). The office is
open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday. The exception
is Jan. 10, Jan. 12, and Jan. 13
when the office will be closed for staff training.
During those closures, staff will be

As an example, he pointed to Honda’s announcement
last fall that it plans to build
an electric vehicle battery plant in Jeffersonville.
“We are in a sweet spot between the (Jeffersonville)
plant and Marysville (where
Honda operates an auto assembly plant).
Two days after the announcement, we had
people calling our office about land for endusers
supplying that battery plant,” Kell
said.
“We want to have tools (like the land

and allow for any opportunity to be considered,”
he continued.
To get the ball rolling, late last year, the
Madison County commissioners passed a
resolution to form a land bank and filed

they need to file for a race.
As of Jan. 3, two people have filed petitions
for candidacy. Donald Brent Mc-
Daniels has filed for the London mayor’s
race. Ray Martin has filed for the West Jefferson
mayor’s race.
Following the Feb. 1 filing deadline, the
Board of Elections has until Feb. 13 to certify
the validity and sufficiency of candidates’
petitions.
Other important dates:
• Independent candidates for races for
which primary races are held have until 4
p.m. May 1 to file petitions. Those whose petitions
are later certified will appear on the
Nov. 7 ballot.

The next step is to form a board. The
board must include two county commissioners,
the county treasurer, a representative
from the largest municipality in the county
(London), and three other members, including
one with experience in real estate. Mark
Forrest and Dr. Tony Xenikis plan to fill the
commissioner seats. County Treasurer
Stacey McKenzie will fill a seat, as will Rex
Castle, London’s safety service director.
“We will discuss appointments for the
other three seats at our first meeting,” Kell
said. “Our goal is to try to have a representative
from the north end of the county and
one from the south end of the county, plus
someone with a real estate background.”
Meeting dates, times, and places will be
posted to the Madison County government
website, www.co.madison.oh.us. Meetings
will be open to the public.

The Ohio Department of Commerce Division
of State Fire Marshal announced the
recipients of the 2023 MARCS (Multi-
Agency Radio Communications Systems)
grant. The division awarded a total of $3.5
million to 325 fire departments in 76 counties
in Ohio.
Central Townships Joint Fire District received
a $19,000 grant. London Fire/EMS
received a $1,680 grant.
“This is a highly-competitive selection
process, so our emphasis has been on growing
the MARCS program with the goal that
one day every department in Ohio is on this
communication system,” said State Fire
Marshal Kevin S. Reardon. “Having first responders
with these state-of-the-art radios
improves emergency services for these counties
which increases the level of safety for
the communities they protect.”
The MARCS radio system allows first responders
to seamlessly communicate, not
only with each other, but with other agencies
responding to an incident. MARCS
radio system technology is advanced, and
the costs to acquire and operate it can be
significant. Priority funding goes to departments
applying as part of a regional or
county-wide effort, as well as departments
that show they are prepared to immediately
begin using the MARCS radios upon receiving
the award. The MARCS grant is available

Monthly meet-ups
for Women in Ag
What do you imagine when you think of a farmer?
Outfits and age may vary but undoubtedly most of us
imagine a male. But did you know that in Madison
County there are 417 female farmers with 250 of those
serving as the principal producer? In the 2017 Census
of Agriculture, 852 men reported being producers which
means one-third of farmers in Madison County are female.
If we look back at the 2012 census, only 240 women
reported being farmers and just 61 of them were principal
operators. That is almost a 310 percent increase in
female principal operators from 2012 to 2017. Women
have played important roles in agriculture since humans
began cultivating the earth. These statistics reflect
that role being recognized, accepted, and even
celebrated more today than ever before.
As a female agriculture educator, I have a passion
for helping women thrive in their roles on the farm.
Through Women in Ag monthly meet-ups, I believe female
farmers and those serving the ag sector can learn
not only from our guest speakers but also each other
through sharing ideas.
We will meet the fourth Tuesday of each month beginning
Jan. 24 at 5:30 p.m. and hear from a variety of
speakers after a time of fellowship over a good meal.
Upcoming topics and dates:
• Jan 24—Ukraine Agriculture and Economic Implications,
Dr. Allan Lines, professor emeritus of agricultural,
environmental and development economics
• Feb 28—Agroecosystem Dialogue, Dr. Aaron Wilson,
state climatologist, ag weather and climate field
specialist, and Jason Cervenec, education and outreach
director, Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center. Join
in a discussion on climate change impacts and agricultural
resilience. Bring your lived experiences and share
with others as participants collectively explore potential
actions that may help the community adapt to changing
weather conditions.
• Mar 28—How to do on-farm research, Dr. Elizabeth
Hawkins, agronomic systems field specialist.
The cost to attend meet-ups is $15 and covers the
meal and other expenses. The current meeting location
is the Gwynne Conservation Area Cabin, 690 Arbuckle
Rd., London. Social hour and dinner begin at 5:30 p.m.
with the guest presentation starting at 6:30. Please
RSVP at go.osu.edu/madisonwia.

Extension Educator, Madison County
Fund helps to pay
vet bills for pets
We at the Humane Society of Madison County are
reaching out to our supporters in hopes that you can
help us with a donation to replenish our Mercy Medical
Fund. The Mercy Medical Fund allows us to cover medical
expenses for animals that arrive at our shelter
needing to be seen by a veterinarian at a clinic or hospital
for medical conditions we cannot treat at the shelter.
In 2022, we provided care for more than 639 cats
and dogs.
In 2022, we spent more than $25,000 on outside veterinary
care. That $25,000 does not include the medications,
vaccinations, surgeries, and treatments we’ve
done at the shelter. While we plan and budget for some
outside vet costs, this past year has taken a huge bite
out of our medical fund.
We had little kittens with eye issues who needed surgery
and treatment, dogs who needed cardiology evaluations,
and others who tested positive for heartworm
and needed months of treatment. We also had many animals
with severe dental disease and other health issues
that required X-rays and bloodwork to figure out what
was wrong.
The animals deserve a chance to live a good life
where they have an opportunity to find a new family
who will love them, value them, and give them a home
where they can feel safe. Please consider being a part of the process
that makes this happen by making a donation to our Mercy Medical
Fund.
Tax deductible donations can be made by visiting our website,
www.hsmcohio.org, and clicking on the “donate” button. Donations
can be sent through the mail to: HSMC, 2020 Plain City-
Georgesville Rd. NE, West Jefferson, OH 43162.
For more information, call the shelter at (614) 879-8368 or click
the “contact us” button at the bottom of our web page.

Toy drive organizers
thankful for support
On behalf of the Tri-County Firefighter’s Association and Mount
Sterling Community Center, I would like to thank all those who donated
to the 2022 toy drive. What an amazing response from the
community this year with the firefighters and Community Center
teaming up to help families in our community. The response was
great.
I would like to thank those who gave generously, donating
money, toys, and gift cards for children and young adults. The community
helped 43 families and 126 youths. I also want to thank the
local businesses that put a fire boot in their establishments to collect
funds.
Some of the local organizations and businesses that donated
funds this year include: Ohio Civil Service Employees (ODOT),
Gerald T. Baynes, Jay Car, Sterling One Stop, Mount Sterling
American Legion Post 417 Charitable Fund, Knights of Pythias Talmadge
Lodge 194, Masonic Lodge, EDF Renewals, CCCU Church,
and Meijer’s at Route 665.
In the past years, I had forgotten to thank Wincup for the boxes
they supplied to the fire department to store toys purchased for the
children. That was an oversight on my part. Again, thanks to Wincup.
Finally, the Firefighter’s Association and Mount Sterling Community
Center could not do what they do at Christmas for families
and children without community support. Thanks again for your
support, and we hope to do this again for Christmas 2023. Happy
Holidays!

Easy-going Mabel and sweet Star up for adoption
The following are among the pets up for
adoption at the Humane Society of Madison
County.
Mabel
I'm Mabel, an
easy-going, 10-
year-old boxer mix
doggy. I came to
the shelter after a
nice person found
me and knew I
needed to get
somewhere safe. I
love treats, love to visit the cat adoption
room, and I do well with fellow older canines
who don’t jump on me and bug my joints.
I keep my kennel clean and still have a
lot of miles under the hood. The staff here
call me a “roomba vacuum cleaner” because
I am always sure to pick up treats that fall
onto the floor. I’m a big girl at 84 pounds,
but I walk well on a leash and have a very
gentle soul. If you are looking for an older,
calm dog who appreciates a soft bed and
loves to take naps with you, look no further.
Adoption fees for dogs vary: shelter dogs
are $180, prison dogs are $250, puppies are
$300, and popular pure-breeds are $400.
The price includes: a Home Again microchip,
set of shots, deworming, heartworm
testing (if old enough), spay or neuter, and
a one-year rabies shot (if old enough). All
dogs adopted must leave with a county license
at an additional cost of $17; this fee is
cash only. Adoption fees can be paid by cash
or credit card.
A Star is Born
Meet our friend, A Star is Born. She is
getting a fresh start at the shelter. This
young lady has an estimated birthdate of
July 15, 2021. She was found abandoned
with some of her siblings, so she hasn’t always
had it easy. She has gained more and
more trust with people since being at the
shelter. She has transformed into the sweetest
girl and loves nothing more than to sit on
a nice warm lap or next to you on the couch
and get all the pets you're willing to give her.
She purrs up a storm and is a total lovebug.
She has discovered she is a huge fan of
being brushed, and that makes her gorgeous
coat super shiny. She will be a wonderful
addition to the
lucky person or
family who gives
her a chance. Star
is a very observant
girl who loves people
watching and
checking out the
other kitties. She is
a big fan of canned
food and treats.
With slow and proper intros to people or
other pets, the shelter staff think she will
adjust just fine. She loves other cats and
would love to be around other kitties. Pets
with calm, polite energy would be great.
Star would do just fine with kids who have
experience with kitties.
The adoption fee is $100 for kittens up to
6 months old and $80 for cats 7 months and
older. It includes: a FeLV/FIV test (if old
enough), spay or neuter, set of shots, deworming,
and a one-year rabies shot (if old enough).
Fees can be paid by cash or credit card.
