PARKERSBURG Parkersburg City Council will vote on the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the sale of the Memorial Bridge to a private entity Tuesday.
Council will also consider the 2021-22 Community Development Block Grant and Parkersburg-Wood County HOME Consortium budgets at the 7:30 p.m. meeting, with a public hearing on plans for the federal funds slated for 6:30 p.m.
Documents for the proposal by United Bridge Partners to purchase and upgrade the Memorial Bridge through an estimated $50 million rehabilitation project were released last week, and company representatives made a presentation to council members during an April 29 Committee of the Whole meeting.
