Welcome

Our Municipal Government has been involved in a team effort with industry, citizens, and civic organizations to make Van Wert a great community to live and work.

Local government has played a key role in our Vision Industrial Park.   Phase I provided complete curbside utilities to industrial sites, including a sufficient storm sewer system to drain large parking lots.  Five industries have nearly filled Phase I acreage. Recently completed Phase II construction has opened up more curb side ready acreage with two industries having already taken advantage of a portion of these many new sites.

Our local legislators, employees, and elected officials are involved with our community, which is blessed with numerous advantages and annual activities.   Citizens have generously contributed to institutions such as our YMCA, YWCA, art center, civic theater, county museum, and beautiful county library.

Civic organizations have added significantly to our municipal park system. Recent improvements include expanding park acreage, providing pavilions, restrooms, walking track and extensive exercise equipment. 

Community support is reflected in the quality of police, fire, and paramedic services, as well as street rebuilding, and the many non-emergency services provided by our municipal government.

     Louis Ehmer
