State Leaders Recognize Mariemont’s Centennial, Support Capital Campaign

By Suzy Weinland

As Mariemont marks its 100-year anniversary of breaking ground as a model planned community, many projects have been planned, undertaken, and a few completed. There have been private fund drives, grant applications, and assistance from various community and state leaders to help Mayor Brown, Village Council, Centennial Committee, and Mariemont Preservation Foundation continue Mary Emery’s dream as well as build on it.

The Village of Mariemont contacted the Ohio Governor's office, Representative Denson, State Senator Ingram, and Congressman Landsman early on concerning grants and programs to support the Village’s infrastructure needs, park upgrades, and special projects – all a part of Mariemont’s Centennial Capital Campaign. The Centennial Committee also sent them information about our Centennial celebrations and invited them to visit our Village.

Congressman Landsman, State Senator Ingram, and Representative Denson visited the Village in 2023. The Ohio Senate, House and Governor’s Office then bestowed three separate proclamations that recognize Mariemont’s Centennial and applaud all that our Village leaders and community members do on a daily basis to not only keep Mary Emery’s dream alive, but to build on it for future generations.

Mariemont Council Member Randy York commented, “They have all been incredibly helpful and, as these resolutions indicate, they are genuinely interested in the Village of Mariemont and are generous with their guidance and support.”

Proclamations are being framed and will be hung in the Village Municipal Building.
