News and announcements

North Sandusky Avenue is in very bad shape and the City of Bucyrus is considering using an ODOT Small Cities Grant for reconstruction of the street. The project will repair, repave and restripe the street to provide a bike lane on each side of the street. Additionally, the sidewalk handicap ramps will be upgraded. The signal at Irving Street will also be upgraded to look similar to the ones downtown. We are committed to building a better Bucyrus and using our tax dollars the best way possible. One way to stretch those dollars is by applying for available grants like this one.

Senator Dave Burke has announced that the City of Bucyrus is the beneficiary of a State of Ohio Grant for $125,000 for the permanent stage at Schines Art Park.   Schines Art Park has been a model for state and local cooperation and has turned a blighted corner of downtown Bucyrus into one of the most unique parks in all of Ohio.  The addition of the permanent stage on the east end of the park will be host to concerts, plays and other events during the year.  Development of the stage design will begin soon. Mayor Jeff Reser expressed his gratitude to Senator Burke and Representative McClain for their support of this worthwhile project.
