On Wednesday April 16, The Perry County Board of Commissioners presented a mobile AED (Automated External Defibrillator) unit to the Village of Crooksville. These units will be deployed with New Lexington Police Officers so they can reduce critical response time during a cardiac arrest. These AEDs are GPS-enabled and are a crucial tool that can be deployed to save lives in the time of need.
Thanks to OneOhio funding available for emergency response, these AEDs will become more readily available all across Perry County to reduce response times when seconds matter the most.

As part of their 2025 Earth Day observation and generally being great people, the Perry County Commissioners and Office Staff of the Commissioners, Angela McCord, Candice Swingle, Jim Stroup, and Katrina Carpenter, Perry County’s retired Recycling Educator, planted American Chestnut trees on the Glenford Fort Preserve property.
The Chestnut Trees are 15/16 American and 1/16 Chinese. With 1/16 of the Chinese Chestnut genome present: research has proven that these trees are resistant to the Chestnut blight that wiped out the American Chestnut Species. These trees were donated by the American Chestnut Foundation. Perry County received them through the ODNR Division of Forestry and the Perry SWCD. Plantings and efforts like this, will hopefully once again enable everyone to witness and enjoy this majestic native tree of Ohio.
