CommunityCrawford County Land Bank
The Crawford County Land Bank will be working to help return vacant, low value properties to productive use.

The land bank will not seek to hold properties for extended periods of time but can transfer land to interested and eligible landowners.
Currently, the Crawford County Land Bank is working to acquire blighted, vacant homes that have been recommended for demolition, using funding provided by a grant from the State of Ohio. We need to have 35 vacant homes in our possession by May 18, 2017 in order to continue to qualify for the full amount of the grant funding. We can receive properties by the Tax Foreclosure process and donations. At this time, it would be beneficial if any property owner would like to donate an unwanted, low value residential property to the land bank for demolition. Please contact Barb McCullough, manager at 419-562-7861 or send a message for further information.

MayorTransparency In City Government
Fellow Residents of Bucyrus:
Thursday was an historic day in Bucyrus. Transparency in local government is here to stay! I led the effort to open our city's finance to you the taxpayer by being one of the very first municipalities in the state to sign up for OhioCheckbook.com. I met with Ohio State Treasurer, Josh Mandel on September 24 in Columbus for the announcement. Just go to www.ohiocheckbook.com and click on the "Local Gov and Schools" tab in the upper right hand corner. Enter "Bucyrus" to view our city's checkbook and see how we spend your tax dollars.
Thanks to City Auditor Joyce Schifer for providing support to Treasurer Mandel's office during the implementation of the program. Joyce's support was critical in making Bucyrus a leader in government transparency.
Mayor Jeff Reser
Dear Bucyrus City Residents,
We have a Golden Opportunity .....
The City of Bucyrus qualifies for a loan from the Ohio EPA that will allow us to pay back the loan over 30 years with no interest cost. This is an opportunity for us to use the funds to work towards compliance with the Federal EPA mandate to separate our storm water from our sewers which will reduce our raw sewage overflows to the Sandusky River.
The Importance of Accepting the Zero Interest Loan.....
The loan allows us to "tie in" homes to storm sewers which will reduce water flow in our sanitary sewers and to our wastewater treatment plant. We will be using 2017 dollars for the project and be paying back the loan with future dollars. It's a great deal for our community since we will have to perform this same work in the future if we don't secure this zero interest loan and that will come at an increased cost to our users when this work is performed. If the interest rate is just 4% then the total cost of the loan is more than $5,000,000. So, you can easily see that a zero interest loan is a tremendous blessing for the city.
Our Current Rates are Below State Average....
The average resident will pay about one dollar more a month or about twelve dollars a year.
According to the latest state utility survey, we rank slightly below average in our sewer rates. You can view that survey here.
The Benefits for You, The Environment and the City of Bucyrus...
I have recommended to City Council that we raise our sewer rates to be able to qualify for the zero interest loan. This is a good deal for our residents and will save money over the term of the loan as we pay back the loan with "cheaper " dollars due to inflation. This savings will be passed on to our customers. We're doing all we can do to keep our rates as low as possible and still comply with the Federal EPA mandates to reduce sewage overflows into the Sandusky River.
Thank you,
Mayor Jeff Reser
