Volunteer/Community Service Chardon Tomorrow
Chardon currently is undergoing a period of growth. At the same time, the cost of providing municipal services continues to increase. The council, administration and city staff need to work together to continually examine existing city services, the cost of those services, and the ability of the city to continue the level of services Chardon residents have come to expect.
