City of Vermilion

City of Vermilion www.cityofvermilionohio.gov Vermilion, Ohio is the crowning jewel of the south shore of Lake Erie.

From quaint shops to fine dining, the arts, entertainment and unmatched festivities, Vermilion truly has it all. Be reminded of a simpler time when an afternoon at the beach, a hand-dipped ice cream cone and a stroll along Main Street made your day special. Stay for a day, maybe two, and take home a memory that will last forever. This enchanting little town has always been a sea side community wit

h New England style atmosphere. This is the kind of town that still has a working soda fountain, a town square and summer concerts on the green. People here actually sit on their front porches on a summer evening. Visiting boats are not only welcomed, they are an important part of the ambiance of what locals call "Harbour Town." The Vermilion River, which flows into Lake Erie, endows marina facilities with more than 1,000 boat slips and ramps for easy access to the Lake, earning Vermilion the title of the “Largest Small Boat Harbour on the Great Lakes.” Lake freighters are also a regular sight on Lake Erie making their way through the Great Lakes nine months out of the year.

Mayor Russ Owens and Council President Jeff Lucas had the opportunity to spend time with Lorain County Commissioner Marty Gallagher and Community Development Director Rob Duncan.

The group toured several areas of Vermilion, sharing perspectives and highlighting needs and opportunities for improvement across the Lorain County portion of the city.

A highlight of the visit included connecting with longtime local business leader Jim D**e President of Adaptive Composites/Airship Ribs, with Tim D**e also joining the conversation. These discussions reinforce the important role our local businesses play in shaping Vermilion’s future.
