Antonio Diaz-Guy
Village Manager, East Palestine, Ohio

East Palestine has long been a place defined by hard work, pride, and perseverance. From our early days as a hub of innovation and industry to the generations of families who have called this village home, our story has always been one of resilience and possibility. We have produced great people and great ideas—and that legacy is the foundation on which we continue to build today.

As we look to the future, I believe it is time to reignite that same spirit of entrepreneurship, imagination, and community pride that once made East Palestine a model small town. “Good” is no longer good enough—we must strive to be great. Together, we can shape a village that not only honors its past but leads boldly into the future, a place where businesses can grow, families can thrive, and our children can dream without limits.

My focus as Village Manager is on service, growth, and collaboration. We are committed to delivering excellent customer service to our residents and businesses, to building partnerships that foster opportunity, and to ensuring that East Palestine becomes a place of renewed energy and shared success. The best chapters of our story are still ahead, and I invite each of you to help us write them.

I invite you to join us on this very exciting journey!
