heads meeting.Also Wednesday, the township hired Andrew Slife, formerly a part-time worker, as a
full-time firefighter. Chief Tom Brice said another firefighter will be promoted to captain at the Dec.

nuisance properties at Broad Street and Apex Lane in the Perrysburg Heights neighborhood. The

the problem.LIME CITY – Perrysburg Township trustees heard Wednesday that the state plans to adjust
