MAYOR’S WELCOME
Wadsworth,
A Wonderful Place to Call Home
I hope you enjoy this 2025-2026 Wadsworth
Community Guide! This invaluable resource provides a glimpse into our community, highlighting the wide range of businesses and individuals who make Wadsworth exceptional. Made possible by the generous support of community businesses and organizations, this publication is offered free of charge, showcasing Wadsworth as a Community Unmatched! Wadsworth continues to thrive as a healthy, vibrant community. This past year has been full of exciting progress, growth, and renewed energy throughout our city. A perfect example of this is the newly constructed Downtown Pocket Park, largely funded through a state capital appropriation grant, that now serves as a welcoming gathering space for the community. With casual seating, gas fire pits, and a bi-directional stage, it’s a perfect place to relax or enjoy live concerts and events. Another major step forward was the successful launch of the Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) in the downtown district. This initiative has been enthusiastically received by both the community and downtown businesses and adds vibrancy and flexibility to how we enjoy our public spaces. Our commitment to enhancing public parks continues to be a top priority. The aging Kaleidoscope playground was replaced with

the new, inclusive Blue Tip Playground, thoughtfully designed with input from residents and playground experts. Featuring designated zones for different age groups and accessible equipment, it has quickly become a favorite family Mayor Robin Laubaugh destination. Additional features, including a splash pad, pavilions, restrooms, upgraded sidewalks, and parking lots, have recently been added. With the nearby features of the Safety Town Village and the 9/11 Memorial, the entire area is a point of pride for Wadsworth. We’ve also responded to community feedback regarding recreational facilities. Through the guidance of our Park Masterplan, we completed major upgrades to the tennis and pickleball courts at Durling and Memorial Parks. Durling now offers two new tennis courts, four pickle ball courts, and a half basketball court, while Memorial features two tennis and two pickle ball courts. These beautiful courts are already buzzing with activity.

We are experiencing a landmark year for economic growth. Over $56 million is being invested in 14 capital projects, including significant developments by Wadsworth City Schools, Sheetz, J.C. Whitlam Manufacturing, and Buehler’s Food Market.
Durling Park now has two new tennis/pickleball courts and a half basketball court.

Whitlam, a manufacturer of construction adhesives, sealants, and coatings. “The company has been located in Wadsworth for 125 years,” Laubaugh said. “They are in the process of building a $3.8 million additional facility located next to their existing headquarters.” In addition to business projects, the city’s largest capital project has been the construction of a new intermediate school that is scheduled to be completed for the start of the 2025-26 school year.
Expanded Parks and Recreation Additional investment has been centered in the city's park areas. A new playground, tennis and pickleball courts, a splash pad, two pavilions, two restrooms and a nice sidewalk network have been added," Laubaugh said. "It's become a great destination area." A new Safety Town and a 9/11 Remembrance Walk Memorial have recently been constructed behind Fire Station No. 1 on College Street. “We wanted the memorial to be close to the fire station for obvious reasons, but we also wanted it to be close to younger visitors to the fire station, hoping that they would remember and 8 Continued on page 8
A Key to Our Success DURING THE ANNUAL State of the City address, Mayor Robin Laubaugh had the privilege of presenting Tom Shuster with the Key to the City. You may not know Tom by name, but if you’ve been in northern Wadsworth, you’ve likely seen him. Every day, except Sundays or bad weather, he spends two to four hours picking up litter, covering areas from Chase Bank on High Street to Reimer Road, the woods east of the Galaxy, and even on and off ramps. A retired teamster who spent 37 years on the road, Tom wanted to stay active while making a difference. His quiet dedication has inspired others to take pride in our community, proving that small, consistent efforts create a lasting impact. Join us in celebrating Tom Shuster, this year’s Key to the City recipient! The State of the City, presented by Mayor Robin Laubaugh, highlighted Wadsworth’s accomplishments over the past year and progress in 2025. The full address is available on WCTV and at WatchWCTV.com.

Room for Improvements
Along with expanded recreational space, the city has also embarked on a variety of infrastructure improvements, the mayor said. “Like other towns, our downtown has aging infrastructure that is in need of replacement,” she said. “We have a huge downtown infrastructure replacement program. We are starting the design work this year, and our hope is that by mid-year next year, we'll be able to start construction. Much of the work will be underground improvements to our utilities, but we also want to give attention to what is done above ground. To do that, we will be relying upon our community members as well as our stakeholders, such as our downtown businesses, to be able to help us in making sure that what is put up above ground is going to be reflective of the wishes of the community.” Meanwhile, residents are able to enjoy evening entertainment

The DORA is a designated district where adults can purchase alcoholic beverages from a permitted establishment and carry them outside during specified hours. “It’s been a great addition to our downtown, where we have a lot of community events and concerts,” Laubaugh said. The addition of the DORA has added to the festive nature of those events.” Laubaugh said the past year has been one of positioning Wadsworth as a place to do business. “Our economic development and engineering departments have made a concerted effort to be attentive to development, ensuring our city is a welcoming and efficient environment for businesses while remembering and protecting the small-town charm that makes us who we are.”

THE IMPORTANCE OF
Estate Planning By Emily Davis, Esq. ESTATE PLANNING IS A CRUCIAL PROCESS for ensuring that your affairs are in order when you pass away. A properly executed estate plan allows you to protect your assets, distribute them according to your wishes, avoid probate, minimize tax consequences, and provide for a smooth transition for your loved ones. When you pass away, having a Last Will and Testament or a Revocable Living Trust will ease the burden placed on your loved ones. While there are differences between the documents, both allow you the ability to control asset distribution upon your death. A Will is admitted to the probate court, where the Court appoints an Executor to handle the probate process. Ultimately, the Executor distributes the Estate assets to the beneficiaries under Court supervision. A Revocable Living Trust holds and provides management of your assets. Your assets are used for your benefit during your lifetime, and the Trust names beneficiaries to receive your Trust assets upon your death. A Trust allows ultimate control over how and when your assets are distributed to your beneficiaries, it can reduce or eliminate estate taxes, and when funded correctly, it allows you to maintain privacy and completely avoid Probate Court.
Highest Potential The district offers a host of extracurricular activities in which students can participate, including sports, vocal and instrumental music, Drama Club, Academic Challenge, N.F.L. Speech and Debate, Chess Club, and Student Council, to name a few. There is also a before-and-after-school child care program called Bear Cub Academy for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. Parents/Guardians are very active in the district with numerous booster clubs to support academics, sports, and band. PTO is the parent-teacher organization that supports the Wadsworth City School system by fostering a closer relationship between home and school. Additional information about Wadsworth City Schools can be found on the web at wadsworthschools.org and on Facebook at facebook.com/WadsworthCitySchools.
Probate Court is the legal process through which a deceased person’s assets are distributed under court supervision. While it may sound straightforward, probate can be a lengthy, expensive, and emotionally draining process for surviving loved ones. The assets of your Estate will need to be probated unless they were owned by a Trust, owned jointly with rights of survivorship, owned with a Transfer on Death or Payable on Death beneficiary designation, or gifted to someone during your lifetime. While there are so many unknowns in life, ensuring that your wishes are known and legally protected can bring you peace of mind. The estate planning process can be overwhelming and confusing, but the Estate Planning attorneys at Witschey, Witschey & Firestine have the experience and knowledge to prepare these important documents for you. We will work diligently to make sure that you have an estate plan in place that meets your needs, and we look forward to doing our part to ensure your affairs are in order and to help protect your loved ones, even after you’re gone.

HOMES AND REAL ESTATE
Thinking About Renovating
Your Kitchen or Bathroom? Here are a few helpful tips to help your project go more smoothly: n Talk It Over: Discuss your renovation plans with everyone in the household. Get their input on what their dream space would look like. n Consider Expansion: Planning to enlarge the space? Think about how much room you can take from an adjacent area without disrupting the overall flow of your floor plan. n Set the Scope: Decide how far you want to take the renovation. This might be the last time you remodel this space, so envision what you truly want—and what fits your budget. n Explore Appliances: For kitchen remodels, research the latest appliance styles. With new technologies, features, and finishes available, it can be exciting—but keep in mind that added tech often comes with added costs. n Reimagine Your Bathroom: Especially in master bathrooms, consider rearranging the layout to create space for the shower or tub you’ve always wanted. Many homeowners are now replacing large
whirlpool tubs with freestanding tubs and larger showers— while still keeping plenty of space to move around. n Cabinetry Choices: What style are you envisioning? Stained wood, painted finishes, rustic charm? With so many options available, exploring cabinetry can be one of the most enjoyable parts of the process. McNeill’s Cabinetry & Floors and construction services by REM Installations is with you every step of the way.

The Housing Market in Wadsworth, Ohio:
A Growing Opportunity for Homebuyers and Investors Wadsworth, Ohio, a charming city located in Medina County, has become a hidden gem in the state’s housing market. Situated roughly halfway between Akron and Cleveland, the town offers the perfect balance of suburban tranquility and proximity to larger urban centers. Known for its historic downtown, excellent schools, and family-friendly environment, Wadsworth has seen a steady growth in its housing market over the past few years, attracting both prospective homebuyers and real estate investors alike.
A Snapshot of Wadsworth’s Housing Market Wadsworth is a town of roughly 25,000 people, and its housing market is marked by a variety of homes to suit different budgets and preferences. Whether you’re looking for a quaint starter home or a more spacious property, Wadsworth offers a range of options. Single-family homes dominate the market, with both new construction and well-maintained older homes available. The housing stock in Wadsworth is generally affordable compared to nearby metropolitan areas, making it an attractive location for firsttime homebuyers and families looking for more space. Over the past few years, the median home price in Wadsworth has been steadily rising, reflecting the increased demand. As of late 2024, the median sale price for homes in the city was around $250,000, which is higher than the state’s median but still relatively affordable compared to larger Ohio cities like Cleveland or Columbus. With low interest rates and a steady increase in demand, Wadsworth has seen a competitive housing market where homes often sell quickly, sometimes above the asking price.
Why Wadsworth is a Popular Choice Several factors contribute to the rising popularity of Wadsworth’s housing market. First, the town’s location makes it an ideal choice for commuters. Wadsworth is conveniently situated just off Interstate 76, providing easy access to both Akron and Cleveland. This makes it an appealing place for those who work in the larger cities but prefer a quieter, suburban lifestyle. Additionally, Wadsworth is known for its excellent public school system, which is a major draw for families. The schools consistently perform well in state rankings, and many parents consider Wadsworth to be one of the best places to raise children in the Akron metropolitan area. The town’s local amenities, including parks, dining options, and cultural attractions, also contribute to its appeal. The historic Main Street Wadsworth downtown area has undergone revitalization efforts in recent years, with new shops, restaurants, and community events like monthly First Fridays enhancing the area’s livability. The small-town charm combined with modern conveniences is attracting more people looking to settle down.
Opportunities for Investors For real estate investors, Wadsworth presents an exciting opportunity. With its affordable home prices and strong rental demand, the market offers attractive prospects for those looking to purchase rental properties or renovate homes for resale. The local rental market has also seen a steady increase, with many residents seeking rental properties as they transition into homeownership or explore Wadsworth as a potential long-term location. In addition, Wadsworth’s proximity to Akron and Cleveland, which are both experiencing growth, positions it as a strong candidate for future development. Over time, this could lead to greater demand for both residential and commercial real estate.
Looking Ahead The future of Wadsworth’s housing market looks promising. As the area continues to develop and as more people seek a quieter, suburban lifestyle within reach of urban centers, Wadsworth is poised to become a top choice for homebuyers and investors alike. Whether you’re looking to buy your first home or explore investment opportunities, Wadsworth’s housing market offers both value and potential.

HOMES AND REAL ESTATE paved streets. Heavy-duty truck owners on construction sites require durable tires resistant to punctures. For off-roading or country roads, Van's Tire Pros offers optimized tires for better control and traction. City driving demands fuelefficient tires that can handle stop-and-go wear and provide excellent braking. Highway drivers need tires with good grip, high-speed control, and maximized braking distance. Understanding your typical driving conditions is key to selecting the right tires for your needs.
Better Control and
TRACTION
IF YOU HAVE BEEN WONDERING how to choose tires or asking yourself “What tires do I need for my car?” or “What tires should I buy?”, the tire experts at Van’s Auto Service & Tire Pros are ready to serve. They maintain a vast selection of brand-name tires for heavyduty trucks, luxury cars, SUVs, compacts, hatchbacks, and electric and hybrid vehicles. m When choosing tires, consider your driving habits. Rural drivers on unpaved roads need different tires than city drivers on
m Consider your local weather when choosing tires. In the Northeast, winter tires enhance traction in snow and slush. All-season tires work well for rain and pleasant weather. Allweather tires offer a convenient hybrid, performing effectively in both winter and summer without seasonal tire changes. Selecting the right tire type for your climate ensures optimal safety and performance throughout the year. m An important thing to know before purchasing tires is the size of your tires. All tires have an identifiable number on their sidewall. For example, the number may be something like 225/70R20. The first three numbers (225) are the tire’s width across the tread. The following two numbers (70) are the aspect ratio, while the R indicates that the tire is a radial tire. The two numbers after the R (20) refer to the size of the opening of the tire. This example tells that the tire has a 20” opening. m The last thing to understand is when to change your tires. All tires are designed for a certain length of driving time. Eventually, the treads start to wear out due to overuse, everyday road debris, and different road conditions. Understanding when your tires need to be changed can save you money and help avoid a tire blowout or flat. This is why it is always important to keep an eye on your tire’s treads and stop by any Van’s location for a tread depth check at any time. If you notice uneven tread wear, the tire experts at Van’s Tire Pros may need to do a tire balancing or realignment. Van’s Tire Pros has several experts who can help you choose the best tire for your vehicle, season, and driving conditions. Their vast experience with multiple makes and models of cars, trucks, and SUVs allows them to choose a tire best suited to your vehicle.

For All Your Computing Needs!
Iler Networking & Computing
S — 31 YEARS OF —
Watching Your Back HEY THERE! We're celebrating our 31st year of helping Ohio businesses with their tech needs. In all those years, we've seen how the online world has changed—and boy, have the risks changed too! The Bad Guys Are Getting Bolder Let's face it — cybersecurity isn't just some IT thing anymore. It's something every business owner needs to worry about. Just look at what's been happening in our own backyard: • Earlier this year, several Columbus businesses got hit with ransomware attacks that basically locked them out of their own computers for weeks. Imagine not being able to access your files, your customer info, or even process orders! • Last fall, Cleveland city services got knocked offline when hackers broke into their systems. People couldn't pay their utility bills, and even emergency services had trouble getting calls dispatched. • All across Ohio, we're seeing smaller businesses being targeted. Why? Because hackers know the big guys have security teams, but the local shop might not. These aren't isolated incidents. They represent a growing trend where cybercriminals target organizations of all sizes, recognizing that smaller businesses often lack the resources to defend themselves properly.
ince 1994, Iler Networking & Computing has been a trusted partner for businesses across Northeast Ohio, delivering reliable IT support that keeps operations running smoothly. Their remote support capabilities allow them to resolve issues quickly—wherever you are—so your team can stay focused, productive, and stress-free.

Their tools monitor your systems 24/7/365 allowing them to stop attacks before they stop your business! They help their clients with Compliance, such as Cyber Liability, PCI, HIPAA, FTC Safeguards, NIST CSF, CIS, CMMC, and more! Rest assured that they have the expertise and experience to handle all your IT needs securely and professionally. Kent and his family have resided in Lorain County since 1998.

Why Cybersecurity Matters to Everyone You don't need to understand the technical details of how hackers operate to recognize the impact a breach can have: • Financial losses from stolen funds, ransomware payments, and business downtime • Reputational damage when customer data is compromised • Legal consequences from failing to protect sensitive information • Operational disruptions that can bring your business to a standstill Think of cybersecurity like the locks on your doors and windows. You wouldn't leave your office unlocked overnight, right? Your digital assets need the same protection. All Those Rules and Regulations? They're Actually Helpful! When we talk about "compliance," it sounds boring and complicated. But really, these rules exist to keep you and your customers safe. At ILER Networking & Computing, we make compliance simple: FTC Safeguards Rule: If you deal with customer financial info, this 8 Continued on page 18 www.ImageBuildersMarketing.us /Magazines 17

Watching Your Back 7 Continued from page 17 one's for you. It's basically a set of security practices that keep customer financial data safe. HIPAA: Got anything to do with healthcare? These rules make sure patient information stays private. PCI: If you take credit cards (and who doesn't these days?), you need to follow these guidelines to protect card info. NIST CSF and CIS Controls: Fancy names for straightforward security best practices that work for any business. Cyber Liability: Because sometimes things go wrong, and you need backup. Instead of seeing these as annoying hoops to jump through, think of them as your security checklist. They're actually pretty helpful guides for keeping your business safe! A lot has changed since we opened our doors 31 years ago. Remember dial-up internet? Those weird modem sounds? Yeah, we've come a long way!
The online world isn't getting any safer, and the tricks hackers use keep getting sneakier.
But one thing hasn't changed: our commitment to making tech work for you, not against you. We skip the tech jargon and focus on practical solutions that protect your business without slowing you down. Take our client over in Cleveland — let's call them Midwest Manufacturing. When their insurance company started demanding
all sorts of cybersecurity measures, they were completely overwhelmed. We stepped in, broke it down into simple steps, and got them protected without disrupting their daily work. Now they can focus on making their products instead of worrying about hackers.

SENIOR LIVING
Is it Time?
Deciding when to move a parent to assisted living involves careful consideration of their physical and cognitive abilities, safety, and overall well-being ASSISTED LIVING – there are many reasons why a person may choose to move to assisted living. While this is not an easy decision, and most often it is a collaborative effort with other family members, it is arguably one of the most important decisions one will make in their lifetime. This decision is usually complex with many factors to be considered, including but not limited to medical and financial situations, social and personal matters, safety, and peace of mind. The goal is to make the move before a crisis, while the individual can still be involved in choosing their new home and making the transition smooth. Far from the loss of independence, assisted living often enhances freedom, freeing residents from household chores and giving them more time and energy for hobbies, friendships, and relaxation. Assisted Living provides varying degrees of help, and each resident is on a tailored care plan to meet their specific needs. As one ages, the home that once served as a safe haven can become hazardous —
especially for those with balance or mobility challenges. Assisted living offers a secure, accessible environment designed to support physical health and safety. Living alone can be lonely and isolating. Socialization, having friends, joining in activities, having conversations with others your age and at your same stage of life,

They can be considered “medicine for the soul”. Assisted living can also give seniors financial predictability and take away the stress of the rising cost of living, upkeep of their aging home, worry of their increasing needs, and the stress of becoming a “burden” to their family and/or friends.

Assisted living gives seniors the freedom to live on their terms safely, participating in and making their own decisions, while knowing help is available when needed.

In the end, the best care is where you feel comfortable, safe, connected, independent, and supported. With the right timing and planning, it can be a wonderful new chapter in life.

10 THE WADSWORTH BLUE TIP FESTIVAL offers unforgettable, family-friendly fun each year — all while giving back to the community by supporting local non-profit organizations and enhancing the quality of life in Wadsworth. The festival, a five-day celebration beginning on the first Tuesday after Father’s Day and running through Saturday, is held in the football parking lot on the North side of Art Wright Stadium. It starts with a world-class 9 tip match, which lights parade and the lighting of a giant, twenty-foot blue downtown Wadsworth during the festival's duration. The parade begins at 6 p.m. and runs 2.5 miles from the high school to Isham Elementary School. The festival then offers attendants their choice of amusement rides, festival foods, midway games, contests, live bands, and other entertainment. Find up-to-date information at www.bluetipfestival.com or www.facebook.com/ 8 bluetipfestival.

A Lot More Than Just Books! NESTLED AT THE HEART of our community, the Wadsworth Public Library remains the best bargain in town. In the past year alone, the Library provided the community with materials, programs, meeting spaces, technology, and other services at an estimated value of $10,489,072. That’s a $3.92 return on investment for each dollar invested in library operations ($2,675,134). Wadsworth Public Library receives critical support from the State of Ohio to supplement our annual operating costs and to maintain and improve our buildings and grounds over time. Key facilities investments in 2025 include substantial upgrades to the local history room, updating the young adult area, three additional study rooms, a new community meeting space, lobby, and public restroom renovations, and a revitalized outdoor reading garden.
A Century of Knowledge Looking ahead, Wadsworth Public Library is proud to celebrate a century of dedicated service to our community. On January 18, 2026, we invite everyone to join us for our 100th Anniversary Celebration — an event honoring our past while looking to the future. The celebration will kick off with a ribbon-cutting ceremony
Learn Together, Every Day! Local firefighters visit with children and their parents during a Story Time session. unveiling our newly renovated library spaces. Guests can enjoy a special reenactment of Ella M. Everhard’s 1926 dedication speech, a performance by the Wadsworth High School Jazz Band, a delicious sampling of desserts from Wadsworth’s finest local bakers, and a tour of the newly renovated spaces. The event promises memorable moments for all ages. But the celebration doesn’t end there. Throughout 2026, the library will take a journey through time, dedicating each month to a different decade of the past 100 years. Special programs, handson activities, themed book clubs, and live music will highlight the culture, stories, and milestones of each era. From roaring ‘20s-themed craft sessions to ‘90s-trivia nights, there’s something for everyone
to enjoy. These events are a tribute not only to our library’s rich history but also to the people of Wadsworth who have supported it for generations. We’re excited to honor the enduring role Wadsworth Public Library has played in fostering lifelong learning and a love of reading.

Saving Our Local History THE WADSWORTH AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY operates a museum at 161 High Street next to City Hall. The museum houses thousands of relics and photographs depicting Wadsworth’s past. Each year, it gets over 2,000 visitors. It is a very active society, and the museum is open each Saturday morning from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. or by appointment. The society has recently undertaken a project that involves purchasing and preserving St. Mark’s Church in Wadsworth’s historic district, the second oldest church structure in Medina County. The building was a Congregational Church constructed in 1841 and retains its picturesque country look. Inside, the Fellowship Hall has been modernized and contains a full kitchen and serving window. The room handles 70 people and is ideal for showers, reunions, birthday celebrations, and office retreats. The sanctuary is open for hosting weddings or other events and can seat 150 people. These facilities may be rented out for the day. Please contact Roger L. Havens for more information by calling 330-336-5548 or emailing WadsworthAreaHistoricalSociety@gmail.com. The Historical Society’s website provides several
options for donating toward the purchase of the church. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, contributions may be tax-deductible. The fundraising deadline to reach their $225,000 goal is April 1, 2026. To donate or for general information, visit WadsworthAreaHistoricalSociety.org.
