Mt. Blanchard Journal — Spring 2026, Issue 4

This issue welcomes a new council member and shares an update on the recent water main repairs.

New Council Member

Desarae Barger has been appointed to fill the Village Council seat left vacant by Aletha Grubb’s retirement.

Main Street & SR 37 Reopened

Extensive repairs to the water main and sanitary sewer line on Main Street are complete, including two new service meter lines. The village thanks residents for their patience during the closure.

Village Maintenance

The crew installed new fire hydrants and playground equipment this winter, inspected and repaired the sewer system, and kept streets clear through a heavy winter. A new grant will fund replacement of catch basins, storm drains, and curbs on Main Street — after which the state will repave SR 37 through town.

New & Notable Local Businesses

The Rustic Cow (planned opening: early April), Born 2 Party event space and fitness classes, and Treats from BAM freeze-dried candy are featured this issue.

Village History

The first in an ongoing series on Mt. Blanchard’s history — starting with its founding in 1830 by Asa M. Lake, ahead of the village’s 2030 bicentennial.
