The WPA began three projects in the last week including finishing last year’s Monday Creek drain and a new ditch at the Children’s Home in Athens to drain grounds and reclaim farmland between East State Street and the Hocking River. Dover Township road work covers 19.9 miles at a cost of 17 341 dollars. The Monday Creek job will spend 4087 dollars to finish last year’s WPA effort.
