LEXINGTON TOWNSHIP ROAD DEPARTMENT

The Lexington Township Road Department operates with three full-time employees: Dennis Porter, Road Superintendent and two equipment operators.  They are responsible for the repair and maintenance of 45 miles of Township roadways.  They do the roadside mowing, cleaning, and maintenance of all Township road ditches and culverts, street name signs, traffic signs, and snow and ice control.  They also maintain a partnership with Limaville, the Limaville/Lexington cemetery, and does the opening and closing of graves at he Limaville/Lexington cemetery.  The Road Department is also responsible for the Bolton Park on Gaskill Drive and the cemetery at the corner of Rockhill Avenue and Greenbower Street within the Township.

The Township is well-equipped with three dump trucks which can be equipped with snow plows and salt spreaders, two tractors with brush hog mowers, a road grader, a pickup truck, and other equipment necessary to keep the Township roads in top notch condition.  Most of the repair and maintenance of the equipment is done in-house at our 5,100-square-foot building located on Greenbower Street.  The site has a total of 123 acres, sufficient to meet the needs of Township expansion for many years to come.
