The Village of Hebron is announcing the completion of three projects designed to improve customer service and poise the Village for future growth. These include the launch of a new website, rolling out its new branding logo and opening up a remodeled Municipal lobby.

Mayor Jim Layton said “We are excited to offer our residents and the general public a modern and stream-lined means to access Village services, stay informed during the current health crisis and learn more about our great community. We will also be using the website as a tool to amp up our economic development efforts to showcase Hebron as a great place to live, work, and play.” The new Hebron website is located at www.hebronvillage.org

Village Administrator Steve DeBolt added “We are also taking this opportunity to introduce our new branding logo which preserves the Village’s heritage as the “Historic Crossroads of Ohio” while including a new modern slogan “Where Our Paths Connect”.

Hebron was a center of commerce in the 1800’s due to its geographic location having multiple primary transportation routes intersecting from different directions in Hebron. These included the National Road (U.S. 40), State Route 79, Ohio Erie Canal and two railroads. Although the canal has gone by the wayside, Interstate 70 is a major thoroughfare that also traverses the southern end of the Village.

Although the new brand was developed prior to the start of COVID-19, it is appropriate that we present it now as we ‘reconnect’ with family and friends and start to get back to work.” DeBolt thanked Michelle Newman, and Jodi Melfi of Jodi Melfi Design, who contracted with the Village for the website and logo design respectively, and Village employees Christina Furbee and Linda Nicodemus for their dedicated work on both projects. He also thanked Project Architecture and Construction Company, and Village employee Angie McVicker for their detailed work on the lobby renovation.

The Village will be opening its remodeled lobby to walk-in customers for the first time since closing its lobby on March 20th due to COVID-19.
