City Won't Get Richland Funds
County officials say State Issue I funds are unavailable for widening Richland Avenue. Commissioners rescinded a $156,000 earmark for East State Street, reallocating most of it to county projects and leaving $12,000 for engineering costs. An extra $84,000 for archeological work is needed, with possible $90,000 federal money redirected to the Dew Hotel renovation in Nelsonville.
