City to Plan B and O Station Renovation Amid Delays
Mayor Ronald N. Young announced state Board of Public Works approved a $65,000 grant to buy the B and O building and transfer title to the city in exchange for an architectural easement. The plan aims to renovate the historic structure, with a committee to be formed and timing adjusted to avoid Christmas shopping season. Underground wiring on South Market Street faces rock and weather delays, pushing October completion likely later but still under review.

He urged reducing federal outlays as the economy regains momentum, contrasting with AFL CIO President Meany who pushed a 21 billion dollar program.
