Marginal Canal Road land to revert to State
Nelsonville will return marginal strips along Canal Street to the State under an agreed ordinance. The land, part of the abandoned Hocking Canal now part of U S Route 23, was deeded to the city in 1934 for rental. Unpaid rent since 1941 will be cancelled and the State may sell to adjacent owners.
