Parent Survey on Underage Substance Use

A group of community leaders, including the mayors of Fairfax, Mariemont, Terrace Park, the administrator of Columbia Township, the police chiefs of all three villages, representatives from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Department and the superintendent of Mariemont schools, have come together to consider forming a local coalition as a part of the Coalition for a Drug-Free Greater Cincinnati.
