Keeping Up with Katy K
Spring has sprung and development projects are popping up like daffodils across our Township. If you follow us on social media (and if you don’t, you should), I often start posts by saying, “Another Dream Come True in West Chester Township!” Well, this quarter, it was my turn. I have been listening to WMKV for years, so jumped at the chance to go on the “Listen Up, Lakota” program when asked to talk about West Chester Economic Development. If interested in hearing me and the general manager of our new Bass Pro on the show, you can listen to me fan-girling it here on the Feb. 16th podcast.

Hike, bike the Upper Mill Creek Conservation Corridor
The paved recreation path along the Upper Mill Creek Conservation Corridor makes for great hiking/biking in winter and, for that matter, any season. Imagine what it would have been like here 200 years ago as you wind your way past the Ellis Lake Wetlands. Today, your footsteps probably retrace the route of a towpath that would’ve followed the old Miami and Erie Canal back then. Construction of the canal began in 1825. After transporting goods and people, north and south, through our corner of Ohio and across the western half of the Buckeye State for more than a century, the canal ceased operations in 1929. In its heyday, the canal was a boon for agriculture and the ice business – thriving enterprises in West Chester (formerly Union Township) in the late 1800s.
