Mariemont Legacy Foundation Completes First Year

The Mariemont Legacy Foundation was established in 2022 on the eve of the 100th anniversary of Mariemont’s groundbreaking by Mary Emery on April 23, 1923. The official letter of determination establishing the Foundation was dated November 14, 2023.

The foundation was created to enhance the quality of life in the Village of Mariemont by engaging community resources of skill, interest, and finances to accomplish projects that supplement and extend the assets and services of the Village of Mariemont.

The Mariemont Legacy Foundation was involved in several projects in the Village in 2023, including:

• $7,000 from a corporate donor to assist with electrification in the Wooster Pike median. This project has not yet been completed.

• $5,170.00 from a private donor for two park benches along Murray Path that were placed in early 2023.

• $479.50 from a private donor for plantings at the Mariemont Pool that was completed in the spring of 2023.

• $280.60 from a private donor for the rebuilding of the four permanent park benches at the concourse. This was completed in late summer as part of an Eagle Scout project.

• $2,633.55 from private donors for new umbrellas at the Mariemont Pool. The umbrellas have been ordered and will be placed at the pool for the summer season.

Total value of projects completed in the Village in 2023 was $8,563.65.
