Vermilion, Ohio is the crowning jewel of the south shore of Lake Erie. From quaint shops to fine dining, the arts, entertainment and unmatched festivities, Vermilion truly has it all.  Be reminded of a simpler time when an afternoon at the beach, a hand-dipped ice cream cone and a stroll along Main Street made your day special.  Stay for a day, maybe two, and take home a memory that will last forever.

VERMILION RECEIVED FUNDING THROUGH OHIO EPA’S SURFACE WATER IMPROVEMENT FUND TO INSTALL PERVIOUS PAVERS AT SHOWSE PARK!

Vermilion is doing their part to protect and improve Lake Erie!  With a grant awarded by the Ohio EPA, Showse Park is one of many improvements the City is working on to reduce the impacts of stormwater and enhance the experience of living, working, and playing in Vermilion. By installing pervious pavers and planting trees, the City is minimizing the risk for potential pollutants to run  off directly into Lake Erie, and prevent erosion from occurring along the banks.
 
Pervious pavers help to provide a spot for rainwater to soak back into the ground where Mother Nature intended it rather than run-off, which can cause erosion and pollute our surface water. Unlike traditional pavement surfaces, when it rains on pervious pavers, water runs in the void space between the pavers and into a layer of stone underneath. The stone layer helps to capture pollutants the water may have picked up from the ground. Some of the rainwater will then infiltrate into the underlying soils, while some may enter an under-drain system.
