About Amherst

Amherst Township truly offers something for every stage of life.  Residents can live here from cradle to grave, supported by diverse housing options, a future nursing home, and three local cemeteries (two township-owned and one privately owned).
We are a mirror image of the county as a whole.  Our community features a balanced blend of farming, low- and high-density housing, a 55+ senior community, mobile homes, and rental properties.
Our appeal is enhanced by an established infrastructure and an ideal location.  Residents enjoy convenient access to major highways and roadways, including I-90/Route 2, the Ohio Turnpike, SR-113, and SR-58.
The local economy thrives on small, independent businesses.  The township is home to local farm markets, a playhouse, a rock-climbing gym, a golf course, garden centers, landscaping businesses, service stations, auto sales, and a wide variety of other service-oriented businesses.
