What happened
The Cadiz Council approved an ordinance to create two new full-time positions: a public works director and a compliance and grants analyst. Village officials stated these hires would help cover staffing gaps and allow for quicker responses to community needs. The village also noted that extensive infrastructure work is required over the next three to five years to remain compliant with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency standards.
