Genoa s 135-year-old town hall was officially designated with the unveiling of a special marker from the Ohio History Connection. The event took place last Thursday evening at the beginning of the annual Genoa Homecoming. The new marker from the Ohio History Connection was made possible through the sponsorship of the Village of Genoa, the Genoa Historical Society and the William Pomeroy Foundation, which provides grants for 10 Ohio historical sites per year.

GENOA, Ohio Two Ottawa County communities have always had a connection through proximity, but now they have a physical connection that will allow neighbors from both communities to enjoy nature and stay healthy.
The project has been in the works since 2011, and was mostly funded through Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) grants.
It cost around $2.5 million, with the majority of the money going into repurposing a former railroad track and building multiple pedestrian bridges over creeks.
Now, the villages hope the new way of casual travel means more neighbors will be visiting the neighboring villages.
Elmore-to-Genoa bike trail a history lesson, says Mayor Bergman

GENOA When bicyclists rolled in to the Village of Genoa on Thursday night, their journey included a pair of ribbon cuttings and a surprising number of people pedaling the four-mile trail, it was an enormous victory for the family of the late Agnes E. “Tomme” Bergman.

Vinton County Prosecutor / Facebook
When the Vinton County Fair was canceled because of the pandemic, County Prosecutor Trecia Kimes-Brown wrote $100 checks to every child who completed a 4-H project this year. She did so in the name of anti-drug education through her Law Enforcement Trust Fund (LETF) account.
The move stoked the ire of Vinton County Auditor Cindy Waugh, who did not like the fact that Kimes-Brown gave cash directly to people right before her reelection campaign. (Though Kimes-Brown eventually lost anyway.)
The death of Breonna Taylor this year renewed interest in police forfeiture raids, and Eye on Ohio asked every prosecutor about their LETF accounts, the fund that benefits from seized cash.
