Mahoning County Public Health received 2025 Ohio EPA Mosquito Control Grant Funding for mosquito control measures. One of those measures includes spraying for adult mosquito control. Spraying will help reduce the population of mosquitos and help prevent the spread of mosquito borne diseases such as West Nile Virus.
      Adult Mosquito Control will occur on May 22, June 26, and July 24 in Boardman Park, as well as Mill Creek Park, Poland Township Park, Poland Village Park, Canfield Village Park and Woodworth Park
      Spraying will be performed between dusk and dawn and if rainy or windy conditions are present, then spraying will be postponed.

      Meeting last week, Mahoning County Commissioners approved a resolution to enter into a Mahoning County Opiod Settlement Agreement with Boardman Township to provide $464,000 for the development of the Clarence R. Smith Jr. First Responder Wellness Center.
      The wellness center will be located on the former site of Mr. Smith’s family homestead on Raupp Ave. The facility will provide a location for first responders to gather for support in handling the traumatic experiences they face on the job.
      The development of the concept of a wellness center was begun last December and has been spearheaded by Boardman Trustee Tom Costello, Police Chief Todd Werth and Township Administrator Jason Loree.
      Officials are hopeful the facility will open this fall.
