Mason County Center Option Sought
Mason County council authorized Mayor Morgan and City Atty. Musgrave to obtain an option on 11 acres between Meadowbrook and 30th Street owned by the Church of Christ for a Cultural Recreational Center. The project totals 1,134,000 dollars with 16,000 approved for preliminary work and plans to submit to the federal government for approval amid water issues and site comparisons to the Ordnance School site. The city faces uncertainty over its share and time is running with a Feb. 28 deadline for the federal grant extension. A weighing of streets in North Point Pleasant also set a 1600 pound weight limit for motor vehicles with penalties for violations.
