20-08 Columbiana County Parks District--Tom Butch and Eileen Dray-Bardon

Conversations With Columbiana County

Tom Butch and Eileen Dray-Bardon, Chair and Vice-Chair respectively, of the Columbiana County Parks District Board of Commissioners join us for this episode.
Learn about some of the great facilities the Parks District has to offer in Columbiana County, including the Greenway Bike Trail, Scenic Vista Park, Hellbender Bluff Park, the site of the first Ohio Supreme Court gathering, disc golf, pump track, and many other programs.
Tom and Eileen tell us about how they manage and maintain all this, what it costs to do it, and how they fund it. They also tell us about their upcoming levy request: a quarter-mill, five year levy that, if passed, would cost the owner of property valued at $100,000 about $8.75/year.
