Kelly Named President of Middleport Council
Meigs Bureau Chief Beulah Jones reports Middleport Village Council elected Marvin Kelly president after a three hour session. The meeting left two council vacancies unfilled following the mayor’s death and a resignation, with 30 days to appoint before the mayor-elect makes appointments. The council discussed a new emergency vehicle, a rate contract with Columbus and Southern Ohio Electric Co., street lighting, and sidewalk changes. The group also addressed a dangerous curve on Middleport Hill, traffic light issues, jail facilities, and a potential Chamber of Commerce sign upgrade.
