Who We Are...
The Ohio Land Improvement Contractors Association (OLICA) is a trade association representing small, family-owned contractors from across the state who are actively involved in the professional conservation of soil and water. OLICA is the Ohio affiliate of the Land Improvement Contractors of America (LICA). LICA can trace its beginnings to a state association organized in Missouri during 1951. The following year additional states joined the new association and it became LICA. There are now active chapters in nearly every state. Visit the Land Improvement Contractors of America website for more information on individual chapters. Interested drainage contractors in Ohio worked with Ohio State Ag. Engineering Instructors to conduct annual schools and seminars. This group became the Ohio Drainage Contractors, which became the Ohio Land Improvement Contractors Association (OLICA) upon joining LICA.

OLICA’s members are involved in a variety of construction projects. The common thread uniting so many activities is each member’s dedication to soil and water conservation. OLICA and LICA are a group of land improvement and conservation contractors, support businesses, scientists, and individuals interested in soil and water conservation. OLICA programs and services, unless otherwise indicated, are available only to OLICA members within the state of Ohio.
The LICA CreedLand, the foundation of the Nation,
The basis of all wealth, The heritage of the wise, The thrifty and the prudent, The poor man’s joy and comfort, The silent partner of man, The producer of food, fiber and fuel, The basis of factories, The foundation of banks. All that man builds is from the land. We often take it for granted, or even abuse it, and yet many unthinkingly and unknowingly pass the land by. What man finally does with the land will be the deciding factor of his survival. |
LICA Vision StatementLICA will be an effective partner to its members supporting their capability in assisting landowners and users in the stewardship of our nation’s precious natural resources by providing leadership and training, improving communications, promoting sound financial management, and providing representation to federal, state and local legislative bodies on natural resource issues.
LICA ObjectivesThe aim of the Association is to encourage high standards of workmanship in resource management, land improvement practices and to promote private enterprises in land improvement contracting.
This association of contractors brings together people having similar interests and opportunities for improving our natural resources with an adequate profit. |
