Nelsonville Plans WPA Canal Road and Sewer Projects
Nelsonville announces Monday September 21 releases for two WPA projects. A canal improvement widens and grades a road along the canal from Watkins Street west to W Washington Street and aims to ease dust with a temporary tar surface next spring. A 4 foot brick Bone Hollow storm sewer will run 1200 feet north from the canal to the old Marietta Road near the Lama Store Building as part of the canal storm sewer system. Workers shift to Public Square to repair curbing and relay W Columbus Street to Cable's Alley and onward to complete Square work.
