Its 3 elected Trustees and Fiscal Officer manage Newbury Township’s 1.5 million-dollar budget. The Trustees’ chief responsibilities include providing its 5,805 (2000 Census) residents with funding for its volunteer fire department, zoning regulations and inspections, maintenance of 35 miles of roads through its 6 member road department, and care of Newbury’s four cemeteries.

The past decade has seen a surge in new housing starts. Housing ranges from modestly priced homes in the range of $75,000 to multi-million dollar estates built on lots a minimum of 3 acres. Residents enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle with the convenience of a wide range of area malls and chain stores close by.

Newbury has a rich history dating back to its first settlers in 1810. Word quickly spread back east that this was an "Earthly Paradise" and soon many families made the journey west to settle in this section of the Western Reserve. Education, love of the land, strong family values and a sense of community were staples of the early settlers, all of which still make up the fiber of today’s residents.

Punderson State Park, along with several nearby ski areas offer residents a vast variety of wintertime activities, while summer fun spots are plentiful, ranging from theme parks, golf courses, easy Lake Erie access, and all of the major sports teams to cheer on. Locally, Newbury has its own Recreation Board offering year round activities for both children and adults.

Additionally, Newbury residents have ready access to the many parks of the Geauga Park District:  http://www.geaugaparkdistrict.org/

Newbury residents are fortunate to live within easy drive to some of the best health care facilities in the world. Locally there are two hospitals with major affiliation to top rated medical schools. There are also 25 colleges and universities in the Northeast Ohio area.

Nationally-recognized firms including Kinetico Incorporated are headquartered here,  and Saint-Gobain Crystals and Detectors calls Newbury home for an important part of their worldwide operation. Newbury Township welcomes light industrial and manufacturing facilities to its community. There are several industrial parks that still have prime sites available. Employers can be assured that there is a ready well-trained work force at hand.

Newbury is a community on the move. Its past history and present course dictate only one outcome – that this is a great place to live, raise a family, and prosper. We take tremendous pride in this place we call home, we know that you will too.

Sincerely,
