County Commission Rescinds Carroll Road Site Plan
Athens County commissioners rescinded a resolution favoring the Carroll Road site for the new County Children's Home. They debated paying $7,000 to the regional planning commission for 1968 and 1969, with $3,375 available from engineering accounts and the rest from county funds. A site study committee will report before any site selection, as the E State Street home is set to be demolished for Route 33, with about $650,000 proceeds to fund a new facility.
