Falls Prevention Workshop – Oct. 5th: Preventing Falls, Preserving Independence: Free Workshop for Older Adults in Ross Community In a dedicated effort to keep our older residents safe and independent, Kendal at Home, the Ross Township Fire Department, and the Ross Community Foundation are joining forces to offer a comprehensive Falls Prevention Workshop. This free event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 5th, at 11:00 AM at the Ross Fire Station,1308 Ross Millville Rd., (US 27), as part of the Ross Township Fire Department's Open House on October 6th. CDC reports that falls are the leading cause of injury and death among adults over 65, with one fall doubling the risk of falling again. Our goal in presenting this free event is to keep our older neighbors safe and remaining independent in their homes! This vital community event is made possible by the generous support of the Ross Community Foundation, which is also sponsoring refreshments for the workshop. All members of the community, particularly older adults, are encouraged to attend. Our older neighbors are a precious part of the Ross community, and this event aims to equip them with the tools and knowledge needed to stay safe and independent in their homes.

Electric and Natural Gas Aggregation Issues on the November 7, 2023 Ballot

The Ross Township Board of Trustees has decided to place energy aggregation issues on the November 7, 2023 ballot. Volatile energy pricing and instability in the market have necessitated action by the Ross Township Board of Trustees. The Board is committed to finding ways to stabilize utility costs for residents in this uncertain market. Energy aggregation is a tool that local governments can use to give residents another option. 

Two separate issues will be placed on the ballot. One issue is for Natural Gas (Issue 11) and one issue is for Electric (Issue 10). If these issues pass, Ross Township will register to become a certified aggregator with the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. This will allow township officials to negotiate utility rates for the gas and electric use for residents and small businesses. 

The Ross Township Board of Trustees has chosen Energy Alliances Inc. as a consultant. They will assist with certification for the township, the management of the program, negotiate rates from energy suppliers and maintain a level of customer service for Ross Township residents.
