Claridon Means Community

Welcome to the community of Claridon, OH. Here, we’ve provided you with information you need as a resident. If you can’t find the answers you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact any of your Trustees. Claridon is made of good, caring, hardworking, faithful, generous and common sense people. We have a community full of them! Many ask, "How can I get involved in the community?" Join a Claridon Township Group! There are three community groups you can join; the Claridon Events Group, the Claridon History Group and the Claridon Cemetary Beautification and Preservation Group. You can get involved in these groups a little or alot. We highly encourage you to inquire! Call or text trustee Jonathan Tiber at 216-276-8342 or email him at JTiber@ClaridonTownship.com.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

New Recycle Center Location To Be Opened in June The last day the current Township Recycle Center will be open is the last day of July (Monday, July 30). The Recycle Center will be moving to Merritt road in Claridon. The new facility will be managed by the Geauga Trumbull Solid Waste District. The construction of the new facility began June 4, 2021. This location is scheduled to be opened mid to late June so, there will be an overlap in which both locations will be open. The new location will accept more variety of material than what our current location is able to receive plus, it will be in a non-residential area as we've always had a challenge with debri flying into neighboring yards. Again the permanent closing of our current location will take place on August 1. Receive Information Directly From a Trustee There are over 300 residents that signed up to receive up to 4 emails per year. These emails inform residents on the latest Claridon news and notes. Email Mr. Jonathan Tiber to be added to the list. While it's great that 300 plus residents are up to date and are staying informed, that leaves over 2,300 residents who are not! Spread the word. The more Claridonites that are in the know, the better off our community will be. Upcoming Dates to add to your Schedule Click here to see upcoming dates. Seeking a Township Logo! Claridon has a slogan. "Land of Steady Habits". This speaks to daily disciplines. Claridon does not have a logo. If you are interested in helping create one, contact trustee Jonathan Tiber. He is interested in having a contest to create a Township logo. He is asking for insights on ideas for the contest. Sounds like fun! Road Levy on the May 3, 2022 Ballot Failed Call trustee Jonathan Tiber to find out why it was on the ballot and why it failed. It's been 30 years since voters authorized a road levy in Claridon.

Are you Wondering.....

....how you can get directly involved with your community?! Here are three wonderful opportunities. Be part of a group that shares the same sense of community as you! Contact Miss Lilly at the township number or Mr. Jonathan Tiber on his cell or via email. We look forward to hearing from you! Claridon Events Group● This group will help organize Claridon events such as ‘Get Down With The Town’, Memorial Day Parade & Ceremony and others. They also can orginize holiday decorations at the corner of Mayfield road and Claridon Troy road. Currently, there are four residents who participate in this group.
Cemetery Beautification & Preservation Group● This group will aid in the beautification and preservation of our three cemeteries. Do you feel our cemeteries are extra important? This group is for you! The Trustees are doing a long term in-house restoration of grave lot foundations performed by our maintenance team but we have no plans for the mausoleum at Center Cemetery nor any other restoration or beautification plans. This group is much needed. There are currently 5 residents who participate in this group.
Claridon History Group● Local history is so important! This group will research and provide Claridon history, help create a hard copy history space in one of our buildings and provide content on our website. Love local history? Want to learn as you go? This is a perfect group to join! There are currently 3 residents who participate in this group.
DID YOU KNOW? Did you know we are not the only Claridon Township in Ohio? There is another Claridon Township in Marion County less then an hour and half away as it is 135 miles Southeast of us. Both Claridons are roughly the same size with near equivalent population. We get many calls and emails from folks thinking we are the Claridon Township in Marion County and they get the same. We've talked with the good folks there and agreed to exchange information when we get those calls. Here is the link to the OTHER Claridon Township (Marion County, OH).
Join together as a community on August 7, 2022 for our 2nd Annual 'Get Down with the Town!' community gathering! Last year's gathering was a huge success! The 'old-school' sense of community prevailed! Some residents brought homemade goods. One resident did magic tricks for the children. Other residents helped out with set up and clean up. Jason the D.J. spun fun tunes. The Vinny's and Fat Daddy food truck was a big hit and we enjoyed Mr. Buth's 'Snowies' from his food truck for a sweet treat. Both Chardon and Burton Fire departments were there. Children and adults alike enjoyed meeting the fire crews and checking out the engines.
More than 175 residents attended last year at our 1st Annual gathering. We expect substanially more folks at this year's gathering. Come meet your fellow Claridonites and the Claridon team! The 2nd Annual Get Down with the Town will be the first Sunday evening of every August from 5:00p to 8:00p. This year's date is August 7. This is one event you don't want to miss so mark your calendars now! Thank you to all who attendend last year and thank you for all your kind comments! Go Claridon!
