Route 33 Relocation Opposed by Local Protest Group
About two dozen residents met at Club 33 north of Athens to oppose a proposed relocation of Route 33 along the west side of the Hocking River. Led by Paul E. Brown, the group prepared a committee to present arguments against the plan, citing cost differences and impact on Chauncey and nearby land. The state said final decisions will be made in Columbus, and options include widening and repairing the existing route toward Route 13.
