Athens to get Valley-Greyhound station in days
Athens mayor Franz Woodworth told City Council that Valley-Greyhound Bus Co is negotiating a new Athens station. Officials eye a site yet will keep buses on streets until a new depot is ready. Graves pledged immediate steps and materials availability for a station, with proceeds funding police equipment upgrades. Council approved camera purchase, recreation funding for Legion baseball, and a traffic light move on old Lancaster Street. A five year renewal for the City-County Health contract was set, and a Watt Street Shannon Avenue grade plan was approved.
