A grassroots group of community members met at The Murphy Theatre on September 4, 2024 at 7pm for a public meeting to discuss what it might look like for Wilmington become a Charter City like other cities our size. South Lebanon Mayor attended to talk about the benefits of their city’s charter and answer any questions.
South Lebanon recently became a Charter City after the census of 2020. The meeting was to learn more about how South Lebanon became a Charter City, the costs involved, and the challenges they overcame.
"[Becoming a Charter City] is a process but one that is very much worth the freedom it gives to you to govern." - Linda Burke, Mayor of The City of South Lebanon, Ohio
