Commissioners discussed relocation housing, number of affected families, and who bears relocation responsibility as part of the South Green project. The council also reviewed a 35 acre tract report, and heard public questions from local property owners and Hillel Foundation leader Jacob Mirviss. The meeting set next steps for the comprehensive community plan with continued committee reporting, and considered extending water service beyond city limits to four Morrison Brown Hill homes.

Community Growth Through Site Selection Steps
William J. Sheenan told Athens Rotary Club that growth results from design not chance. He explained firms use systematic site selection for plant locations, noting decisions can take up to three years and hinge on profit, taxes, area costs, and highway access. He cited rising small-town industrial shares from 20 percent in 1948 to 34 percent today.

Three County Officials To Attend Conference in St Clairsville
Two county commissioners and the engineer will attend the fall quarterly Southeastern Ohio County Engineers and Commissioners Association meeting in St Clairsville Wednesday. The group learned certification for an engineering fee on the new Four Mile Creek bridge on County Rd 59 has been received. The U S Army Corps of Engineers will pay 25000 to aid bridge construction aimed for completion by fall 1966 to counter river backwaters. The county hopes half the balance may come from another federal agency. Commission President James Edwards said he and Commissioners John Law and Engineer Harry Dust plan to attend. John Cline was absent. The commission also appointed John Robinson as the fourth county at large member of the regional planning commission.
