OHIOVILLE – Zoning is a hot topic in the borough, and candidates for mayor and borough council have strong opinions about it.
The borough currently does not have a zoning ordinance, and in 2019 council proposed a zoning ordinance. The response was a resounding no from the community, and council eventually tabled it indefinitely. Many candidates running for Ohioville offices this year hope to keep it that way.
Mayoral candidates
In the mayoral election, current mayor Kevin Chaffee, a Republican, is running for re-election. Darryl Wolfe, also a Republican, is running against Chaffee. F. John Szatkiewicz is running for the Democrat nomination.
