In February of 2026, Boardman Township entered into an aggregation program with Dynegy, a company that provides a new fixed rate of 9.87 cents/kWh for 26-months for Boardman residents. As electric rates rise and markets become increasingly volatile, this program provides a fixed rate below 10 cent/kWh for the longest term that was available to the Township. Unless you have opted out of this agreement, your home and electric bill ARE covered by this agreement until June 2028.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I am in the aggregation program?

Active participants in the aggregation will see the supplier’s name (Dynegy) and the aggregation rate ($0.0987/kWh) on their Ohio Edison electric bill.  If you wish to confirm your status in the aggregation, call Dynegy at 888-682-2170.

Who can answer my questions about the program?

The Township is pleased to have made this program possible, but residents with questions should contact Dynegy at 888-682-2170.

Why is the rate higher than the previous term?

Electric prices have continued to rise over the past few years.  This is a result of the inflation of costs to produce electricity as well as costs associated with rising demand for electricity.

What are my other supply options outside of the aggregation?

Residents can always remain with, or return to, the utility’s default supply service.  Ohio Edison’s default supply rate is a variable rate that changes monthly/quarterly.

Residents can shop for other supply options through the Public Utility Commission’s Apples-to-Apples website at www.energychoice.ohio.gov .

Boardman Township officials, along with regional partners, signed a letter tonight, requesting State of Ohio support for the Cranberry Run Flood Mitigation Project, a major public safety and infrastructure initiative aimed at addressing long-standing flooding issues in central Boardman. The letter explains that decades of unplanned development—particularly without adequate stormwater management—have led to worsening flooding that now impacts residential neighborhoods, businesses, major transportation routes like U.S. Route 224, and thousands of daily commuters. More than 3,500 downstream residents are directly affected. The proposed project is a comprehensive, science-based solution that includes stream restoration, new stormwater detention systems, culvert replacements, and rerouting of drainage infrastructure. These improvements are designed to increase stormwater capacity, reduce flooding risks, and protect over 250 properties during severe weather events.

Officials sign letter requesting state support

Boardman Township has already secured $35.4 million in federal FEMA Flood Mitigation Assistance funding—the first award of its kind for the Township. The letter emphasizes that additional state support is critical to complete the funding package and move the project forward.

Overall, the project is positioned as a transformative investment that will enhance public safety, protect homes and businesses, strengthen infrastructure, and support long-term economic resilience across the Mahoning Valley.

The Health District is working with the USDA APHIS Wildlife Services to reduce and eliminate raccoon strain rabies from your area. Since many of the target raccoon populations are in residential neighborhoods, your participation in this Trap, Vaccinate and Release (TVR) program is crucial. We are asking residents for permission to place cage traps on your property for a few days over the spring and summer to catch raccoons.

After being caught in the trap, healthy raccoons will be vaccinated and released on the property where they were trapped. Releasing rabies-vaccinated raccoons not only protects that individual animal but helps interrupt the disease cycle and reduce the number of rabid animals in Mahoning County.

If you are willing to participate in this program, please sign the enclosed consent document, place it in the plastic bag, and hang it on your front door. 

Once you have hung it on your door, please call Wildlife Services at (330) 726-3386 and give your name, address, and daytime phone number along with an indication that you are giving permission for the TVR program on your property. A USDA Wildlife Services employee will then collect the signed permission form.

Exact dates of trapping for each property cannot be scheduled in advance due to differences in the weather and trapping success, but when the traps have been set in your yard, a notice will be left in a bag on your front door. Wildlife biologists and technicians will have signs on their vehicles so they will be easily identified. When trapping is occurring, it is recommended residents keep an eye on their pets when outdoors to make sure they do not come into contact with a trapped animal.

Thank you very much for your consideration. If you do not wish to have traps in your yard, remember your neighbors may elect to participate, so please watch your children and pets while they are outside. As a final reminder, please keep your pets current on rabies vaccinations and teach children not to handle animals that are unfamiliar to them.

Frequently asked questions about Trap, Vaccinate & Release Programs (TVR)

1.) Why does USDA Wildlife Services perform TVR?
USDA Wildlife Services traps, vaccinates, and releases raccoons with the goal of stopping the westward spread of raccoon strain rabies in the United States, and to protect you and your pets from rabies.

2.) Is there a fee/cost to participate in the TVR program?
There is no cost for participating in this program.

3.) How do I know when you will be setting traps in my yard/ and how often will USDA Wildlife Services check them?
A notice will be hung on your door indicating that traps have been set. Traps will usually remain on your property for 3 to 5 days. If additional time is needed another notice will be hung on your door. Traps are checked by USDA Wildlife Services at least once every 24 hours, usually in the morning or early afternoon.

4.) Why are the animals released back onto my property and not completely removed?
Raccoons are released onsite because it is illegal to relocate a wild raccoon because of the potential to spread disease. If you are experiencing problems with nuisance animals and would like them removed, you may hire a licensed nuisance animal trapper at your own expense.

5.) What do I do if there is a wild animal in a trap on my property?
USDA Wildlife Services and your local health department recommend that you stay away from the animal and keep pets and children away as well. USDA Wildlife Services personnel check traps every 24 hours and will release the animal upon arrival.

6.) What do I do if there is a domestic pet (ex. pet cat or dog) in the trap on my property?
The traps used for this project are meant to capture animals live and unharmed It is recommended that you wait for USDA Wildlife Services personnel to arrive and release the animal.

7.) I don’t understand what the control methods are on the referenced agreement?
Cage trap – box style trap used to capture animals live and unharmed.
Catch pole – used to restrain a sick or strange acting animal that could potentially be wandering around on your property.
5:1 Ket/Xyl – used to sedate animals. Used rarely on this project and only by USDA employees officially certified to do so.

8.) What if I don’t want TVR on my property?
It is every resident’s choice to participate or opt not to participate in this program.

9.) If I have further questions regarding trapping, who do I call?
Please call the Health District at 330-270-2855. If the Health District cannot answer your questions, they may refer you to USDA Wildlife Services for more information.
