The County is eligible to apply for funding through the CDBG – CV Grant Program on behalf of the Village.

The activities must be designed to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income persons, aid in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight or meet an urgent need of the community.

Zeisberger Trail and Parks
Zeisberger Trail and Parks is a community organization that is working to build trails and parks in the Tuscarawas area.
The Village of Tuscarawas is located in southern Tuscarawas County, Ohio, about eight miles south of New Philadelphia on State Route 416.
We have two churches and several businesses including restaurants and a gas station/convenience store. A recently remodeled and expanded library is located on Main Avenue.
For recreation, Tuscarawas (also referred to by many as “Tusky”) has a park with a shelter house, playgrounds, a basketball court, and several ball fields. The Ohio & Erie Canal Lock 15 is located on the south end of the village and is a nice spot for a picnic. The newly constructed Snyder’s Landing boat ramp is a wonderful place to easily launch your boat into the historic Tuscarawas river.
According to the last census, about 934 people call Tuscarawas “home.” Although the town is small, we have our own Police Department and the Warwick Township Volunteer Fire Department is located in the village. Tuscarawas is also home to the Indian Valley Middle School.
Tuscarawas is a great place to live and raise a family.
Again, we welcome you to our village!
