Volunteers led by local Girl Scouts planted plants and shrubs on the former city hall site at 2 Myrtle Avenue on a sunny Saturday in July. Supervisor Laurie Ousley noted planning began after a $4,000 Northeast Ohio Girls Scouts grant awarded in January to support community projects in towns with populations under 10,000. The Maple Ridge Service Unit girls chose Willard after discovering clock tower restoration plans for Rick Reed were not progressing. Makayla England spoke for her troop at a May Willard City Development Commission meeting, where the CDC and City Council approved the project. The plan repurposes the vacant site for public green space following demolition of old city hall.
