Earlier this school year, we had the opportunity to partner with Licking Heights Local Schools Superintendent Dr. Kevin Miller to highlight a newly completed sidewalk connection near Everest Elementary. Projects like this are a good example of how targeted investments can make a meaningful difference in our neighborhoods and create a more connected community.

Olde Quarry Park and Blacklick Ridge Community Park remain closed until floodwaters recede and Township crews are able to assess conditions and any damage.

Jefferson Township is experiencing flooding this morning. Clark State Road is currently closed between Waggoner and Babbitt roads, and Havens Road is closed between Waggoner and Dixon roads. Olde Quarry Park and Blacklick Ridge Community Park are also closed due to high water.

Please use caution when traveling and avoid flooded roadways and low-lying areas. Never drive through standing or moving water, and do not go around road-closure barricades. Conditions can change quickly, so please allow extra time, use alternate routes, and continue to use caution until floodwaters recede.
