Yesterday, our crews went and cleared an illegal dump on Leeper Rd. Someone had disposed of several plastic gas tanks and our county liter deputy asked if we could assist with removing them.

Pictured here is our newest employee, Greyson.

By working together we can make Guernsey County a better place to live and work!

We added two new additions to The Great Guernsey Trail, consisting of a tetherball pole at both the Corduroy Rd. and Lore City trailheads.

This idea came to us from a request by a local resident who said her son loves to play tetherball and wanted a pole near the trail so he could play.

Needless to say we obliged. We still have some work to do to make the pole less wobbly, but it’s a start.

Since 2024 the CDC has partnered with Operation Warm to provide essential apparel for kids so they can thrive and not worry about coats or shoes.

This year our Mobility Manger Kyra Gleckler created a mobile option in order to take the coats and shoes directly to those that need it the most.

Each day she loads up her van and travels the roads of Guernsey County to help kids stay warm and comfortable. Yesterday, she was at Nurture Preschool & Child Care in Byesville and today she will be out visiting local apartment complexes.

Pictured below is Tia Theodosopoulos (owner) and Kyra.

If you are interested in obtaining a coat or a pair of shoes, please call the CDC at 740-439-0020 to inquire about our program.

Within the next few weeks The Guernsey County Community Development Corp. will need to close the trail at the start of the Zemba Bros. Way, which is the last mile of The Great Guernsey Trail heading east from Lore City.

Our crews have been dealing with a slip for a few years and we’ve tried everything possible to repair it without closing the trail. Unfortunately the slip has progressed to the point where the entire section will need cut out,
rebuilt and shored up.

We don’t have a time for when the repair will be completed, because we don’t know what we are getting into until we start the work. But we will keep everyone updated as we progress through the project.

We want to say how blessed we are to have an experienced field staff that can complete a job like this, because that capability saves money and allows us to put our limited financial resources into other projects.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to message us or email our Executive Director, Ron Gombeda, at [email protected].

Our supervisors, Chris Gilreath and Shane Ickes, finished this ramp for a local veteran. Our ramps for veterans is supported entirely by the funding of a local organization that supports veterans. Thanks to that support we are able to build these ramps and ensure those that served our country can stay mobile and active in our community.
