John Festa Mantua Township Trustee

 It has been an honor to serve the Mantua Township residents as your elected Township Trustee. Throughout my 15 years of service, I have focused on responsible township government, 

open communication with residents, fiscal well-being, and practical solutions to issues affecting our community.
In addition to my trustee responsibilities, I maintain the Mantua Township website/facebook page, serve on the Portage County Regional Planning, sit on the Chagrin River Watershed Partners, support township communications, and remain actively involved in community projects, historic preservation efforts, and cemetery beautification. My goal is simple: to help make Mantua Township a great place to live today while planning responsibly for the future.
