Ohio Department of Natural Resources
By unanimous approval, council authorized the pursuit of an Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ Recreation Trails Program grant Thursday for a total project cost of $146,000.
Following the meeting, Marietta Law Director Paul Bertram corrected what exhibits were provided to the Times.
Bertram explained that $44,000 is outlined in the proposal for design and engineering costs.
Another $72,000 is outlined for construction.
Then the city’s match, Bertram explained, would be “hard cash” for construction ($19,000) and for the design phase ($11,000).
