Living in Fairfax, OHThe village of Fairfax, Ohio dates back to the 1780s, as it was the first permanent settlement of the area known as the Miami Purchase. It has a statutory form of Government with a mayor who is the chief executive. Village Council has six elected members. The village is home to some 200 smaller businesses and once the site of a Ford transmission plant, which closed in 1979. There’s a $60-million mixed-use development with office, retail and restaurants on this old site. It will be anchored by Wal-Mart super center. There are talks of a village square on Wooster Pike that will feature some shops, restaurants, green space and parking. Numerous recreational programs are available to the residents—teen dances, soccer camps, swim club and men’s basketball. Ziegler Park offers picnic shelters and concessions. A nine-person police department serves the village, and the Little Miami Fire District provides fire and ambulance services. The small-town feel, the safe streets, good schools and convenience to downtown are the reasons village administrator, Jennifer Kaminer, chose to live in Fairfax. | More Local Area InformationFairfax, Ohio has less than 2,000 people filling its neighborhoods with old town warmth, and it is close enough to Cincinnati to make it a commuter'...
