The commendation, which was presented at Chardon Square, states in part:

“The county seat of Geauga County, the City of Chardon has experienced dramatic growth and change, and yet, commendably, even as its residents have exuberantly embraced the promise of a bright future, they have never relinquished their appreciation for the worthiest virtues of the past. Without sacrificing their sense of tradition in the name of progress, the people of Chardon have managed to nurture a fresh perspective and a positive outlook that endear this distinctive place to all who know it well.”

“I was so pleased to recognize this significant milestone for the City of Chardon,” Rep. Lynch said. “During the past year, the citizens of Chardon have demonstrated just how special their community truly is!”
