Council reviews ideas for historic Harmar Bridge | News, Sports, Jobs

jpatterson@mariettatimes.com Marietta City Council took a stance on mending bridges of trust Wednesday before canceling a scheduled special business meeting Thursday morning. “I want to use this as an opportunity to point out one final thing and I want us all, all of us who are present, to keep this in mind,” prefaced Councilman Geoff Schenkel, D, fourth ward, at the close of committee discussion Wednesday. “What we’re experiencing today with rushing at the last minute, and the resistance that is clearly there as a result of that, underscores the importance of engaging council early on ideas.”

So I’m confident that everything is going in the right direction.”

On Tuesday, Marietta City Council’s Lands, Buildings and Parks Committee spent the majority of its time discussing a historic landmark that once connected Marietta’s downtown to the Lower West Side. But today the full legislative body will not introduce or vote upon grant efforts for the Historic Harmar Bridge. “(For) the proposed legislation for the bridge, we’re talking about having a special meeting next week,” said LBP Chairman Bill Farnsworth on Wednesday after the 10:30 a.m. release of today’s council agenda did not include a resolution of support for a second state grant under consideration. “We don’t have exhibits or any paperwork or anything.”
