Lebanon City HallLebanon City Government Civic Donations Continue for 2012

For a town of around 20,000 people, Lebanon offers quite a bit to quality of life.  Selected as one of Ohio magazines 2012 Top 5 Ohio Hometowns, it's easy to understand the selection when you know the city!

Want more evidence that Lebanon is a great place to live?  The Lebanon city government has just released their latest civic donation list.  The Western Star reports that $3000 each will be going to the following organizations:

Additionally, they'll waive $5,000 in utility bills for the Humane Association of Warren County and $13,000 in utility bills for the Warren County Historical Society.

While funding is down from past years, with the economy tightening requirements and urgent infrastructure items such as street repair taking precedence, it's great to see that the festivals and arts still have a solid place in our community!

Each of these programs contribute to bringing not just Lebanon residents downtown but tens of thousands of other visitors (and their dollars!).  Visit the Applefest, Blues Festival or Christmas Carriage Parades and you'll know that a lot more than the 20,000 Lebanon city residents are in attendance!

So kudos to the Lebanon city government for continuing the funding contributions to these community critical organizations!

BLiz, this is so unusual for city governments to fund these kinds of programs in towns anymore...it is nice to see that Lebanon OH is making it right!

Hannah, We've lived just east of Lebanon for 20 years now.  All the advantages without the city tax :)  Lebanon offers way more than a town of it's size should normally, so a great place to live and enjoy life!

Anita, They do!  A good mix of historic and new, they've got their act together.

Ginny, I know we see the fight on a larger scale in Cincinnati for funding, and it's not pretty when it doesn't go well.

John, It's a nice statement by the city.  It doesn't fully fund the activities by any means, but at least shows their continued support.

Liz/Bill - it sounds like the people working for the city "get it."  They see the long term picture of helping their local residents succeed and know that their long term success will generate so much more revenue in the future.  Good for them.

It is cool to hear that Lebanon Ohio is doing what it can to keep arts and festivals in the picture during the tough economy.  These festivals are sure to bring more revenue to the area and are obviously well attended.  I know I love all of your posts on these events and I don't even live there ;)!  If I ever  thought about moving to Lebanon, OH, I would search out Liz and Bill Spear for all of my Real Estate needs.

For now though, I will keep my self in Texas...alas...you in Ohio have too much snow for me :)!

Juli, They do get it.  They've always been progressive in meeting the area needs.  And when things don't work out as planned, they adjust.

Brenda, I think the city businesses get back way more than the 18,000 donated thanks to all these activities.  Indirectly, it's a self-funding activity to bring all these folks to town.  And by the way, we've probably had less than two inches of total snow for the whole month :)  Maybe even less than an inch!
