LIMA, Ohio – As the Walking the Wards series continues, Lima Mayor Sharetta Smith paid a special visit to the Allen County Council on Aging.
This visit allows senior citizens to share their visions, ideas, and concerns with the mayor. Smith also brought along several employees from various departments. They discussed several city projects, including the Lima Community Aquatic Park and plans for a new water treatment plant and fire station.
While not a traditional walk, city officials hope it provides another opportunity for residents to voice their opinions.
“I thought it would be a wonderful place for her to come and see what we do here, and meet the people, just to be available to the people, and have them be able to ask questions, and also that she brought up what they didn’t like about the neighborhoods, to really not just get into the positive things, but know what things need to be changed,” said Judy Jacomet, senior services resource coordinator and information & referral specialist for Allen County Council on A.
The next planned walking tour of the wards will be on August 12th at 5 p.m., beginning at 50 Town Square.
