Fairfield Township

What Fairfield Township does

Fairfield Township is a political subdivision of the State of Ohio located in Butler County, established in 1795 and serving approximately 23,000 residents. It operates as a general-purpose local government, delivering core municipal services through six departments: Administration, Fiscal Office, Zoning, Fire, Police, and Public Works. The township maintains 80 miles of roadway, multiple parks including Heroes Park and Shafer's Run Park, and a Veterans Memorial. Its operational footprint is supported by capital investments including Fire Station 212, a purpose-built Public Works Building (completed 2021), and a remodeled Police Department (completed 2021), with a workforce of 51-100 employees.

The township's revenue model is tax-funded rather than commercial. Operating revenue is generated through voter-approved property tax levies allocated to the Police, Fire, EMS, and General Funds, supplemented by Tax Increment Financing (TIF) revenues from designated development areas, Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) shared revenues with the City of Fairfield, American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding, and state and federal grants. The township maintains a cash position exceeding $20 million and carries a Moody's Aa2 bond rating, signaling strong fiscal capacity and low-cost access to capital markets.

Strategically, the township is pursuing economic development through a JEDD partnership with the City of Fairfield to anchor a 1.4 million square-foot industrial park expected to create 700+ jobs. This signals a deliberate diversification of the revenue base beyond residential property taxes. Concurrently, the township is rationalizing discretionary services—discontinuing the Spring Clean Up Day and recycling dumpster program for 2025-2026—to manage operating costs while preserving its strong reserve position. The combination of capital expansion, selective service curtailment, and inter-governmental economic development partnerships reflects a jurisdiction in controlled, infrastructure-led growth mode.
