The City of Lima’s annual Arbor Day celebration will carry added significance this year, as it hosts the first ceremonial tree planting in Ohio’s 88 counties as part of the America 250-Ohio commemoration.
The first in-person meeting and yearly membership drive since the pandemic took place Monday morning at the Howard Johnson in Lima. Their focus is on safety and wellness in the workplace, and thousands of Ohio employers benefit from the education and resource sharing by participating in their meetings. Eligible businesses who participate can earn a 2% rebate on their worker's compensation premium.
The West Central Ohio Safety Council is returning to in-person meetings. By participating in the safety council companies can earn workers' compensation premium rebates through safety education. The council can also help with identifying resources to assist in accident prevention efforts and learning ways to increase safety, health, and wellness in the workplace. They are asking if you are interested in participating to contact them.
This will include the planting of new trees, thanks to a program through the Allen Soil and Water Conservation District funded by the City of Lima Stormwater Department. Lima residents are eligible to get a 50% rebate on the purchase and professional planting of an approved species of tree. The district also has a $25 rebate for purchasing and installing one of their rain barrels. For more information visit their website or call the office. Allenswcd.com or 419-999-0318.
