CADIZ – Harrison Hills Board of Education (HHBOE) Superintendent Dana Snider confirmed this week that the board did indeed approve an agreement for the Enterprise Zone that the commissioners and the Village of Cadiz had already approved in the past two weeks. “We approved an agreement for the Enterprise Zone,” Snider said while thanking all the work the Harrison County CIC did, which she said was for the betterment of the community, the students and the county. e approval, which was conducted in an emergency meeting held Monday,

came just four days after last week’s regular board meeting where the discussion resulted in no action taken. Something clearly changed in a short time but what that was isn’t being talked about as of now. At Wednesday’s commissioner’s meeting the board approved a new resolution (14-18), which replaces resolution 13-18. is was done in accordance with the school board’s approval of the Enterprise Zone agreement. “For clarification, we have revised this resolution to reflect the village and Harrison Hills City School District of approving to enter into the Enterprise Zone agreement,” Commissioner Paul Coffland explained. “Previously, our

resolution was conditional upon their entering into it, so we have simply cleaned up this language to reflect that all of the parties have passed their… agreement to enter that Enterprise Zone agreement.” Chris Schmenk, an attorney representing the Harrison Power plant said that they are not ready to release any financial numbers at this time stating that all parties have been bound under a confidential disclosure agreement “until their investors make a final decision.” “But they are basically saying they will work with the community on a press release…” Schmenk explained, which might include a live press conference in

CADIZ – Communities around the county are preparing for their annual spring cleanup day and Tom Butch of CCH (CarrollColumbiana-Harrison) Solid Waste District appeared before the Harrison County Commissioners Wednesday to explain the details. One of the main topics was a pilot program they were introducing to deal with the pick up of electronics. In a prepared statement, Director Barb Walton noted how costly the turnover for electronics has become and were trying a way to make it less expensive for them as well as the public. “Last year alone, CCH spent $32,000 to recycle electronics, with the majority of our costs going to set-up fees for our contractor to be present at our one-day collection events and for recycling televisions.” Butch emphasized that electronics would not be collected on their May 19 collection day held at the Harrison County Fairgrounds. But as part of the change in procedure, collection of electronics beginning on May 9, would be by appointment only. e site for this was not announced yet in order to prevent the public from dumping their items prematurely but did say it would be in the Cadiz area. e May 9th date would be the start of a series of Wednesdays for dropping off electronics by appointment and then see how it goes from here, he said. e number to call for electronics (Carrollton office)

Judge Shawn Hervey updates the county commissioners on the grant recently secured that will bring in equipment to make the courthouse entrance more secure.

is: (330) 627-7311 (for more information go to: www.cchenvironmental.org). Electronics eligible for taking are: Calculators, cameras, cell phones, computers, copy machines, keyboards/mice, laptops, microwaves, notebooks, scanners, typewriters, vacuums, CD/DVD/VCR machines, printers/fax machines and stereo/radio equipment. Butch said televisions, computers and monitors with a $5 charge for older tube-style televisions, but everything else is free. He said the times for those Wednesday electronic’s drop offs by appointment, might be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. but it was just a guess at this time. He said there is no appointment required for the May 19 drop offs. Butch did announce what would be collected on the oneday household hazardous waste
