Recreation Levy Suggested For Kroger Building Purchase

The Town Meeting Recreation Committee voted to urge Hocking County to place a one mill levy on the November ballot to buy the Kroger building for a countywide recreation center. A cost comparison showed the 14 500 square foot Kroger site plus a 4 000 square foot gym as a possible option competing with a new center at Zaleski.

Commissioners Asked to Support New Business

Logan Hocking County Commissioners heard a single bid from J J Blazer Construction on resurfacing the Hocking Valley Community Hospital lot for 27865 with an 60 by 120 foot add on area costing 7220. Ted Hayes of Catholic Charities urged backing a six month push to purchase the Coffman facility and form an employee owned company funded by Title IX grants via EDA. A Green Landfill rate hike was approved with a minimum 1 and per yard charges for loose pack and compacted yardage. The board approved judge attendance, transferred funds, and ordered an audit job costing about 1000 to release 20000 to the Engineer Department. Plans for a 310000 gym and remodeling 18000 square foot block were discussed with a five year levy proposed to fund ongoing recreation, with groups planning to seek support from Logan City Council and residents. The next meeting is set for Thursday at 730 pm in the Logan Federal Community Room.
