Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Perrysburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
I-75 Corridor Amendment to Perrysburg Tomorrow Land Use Plan
Perrysburg wants to redesignate roughly 1,225 acres along I-75 for employment-focused development instead of conservation/residential uses. It's a guide, not a rezone — but residents worry it's groundwork for a data center and for pushing into township land.
Appointment of Director of Public Service
Restrooms are being winterized, leaf collection is underway, and new Public Service Director Joe Holland plans winter 'housekeeping' fixes like replacing worn mile markers at Woodlands.
Fall planting and winter pruning plans
Crews recently trimmed 63 trees around Nora Drive and Little Creek Drive, removed 16 stumps, and planted 16 new trees — steady upkeep of the city's street tree canopy.
Refuse and recycling funding direction
The city must decide how to fund trash service long term — levy or user fee. Both committee members back the levy, but a sixth route, new driver and truck, and a likely modest rate increase are coming as the city grows.
Municipal buildings project locked in under budget
The Rudolph Libbe guaranteed maximum price for renovating the Municipal Building, police building, and River Road building came in $2 million under budget. Construction starts in December, and meetings move to the Schaller Building next year.
Marijuana dispensary regulations
City Council will vote April 7 on whether to prohibit marijuana dispensaries within Perrysburg, with a moratorium in place meanwhile. If prohibition fails, the debate shifts to rules for allowing them — including 500-foot buffers around schools, parks, and churches.
