After COVID Delay, Marian Spencer Statue Could Be Standing This Month

Provided / Tom Tsuchiya The first statue in Hamilton County of a specific woman will go up before the end of this year. That s the hope of the Women s City Club of Greater Cincinnati. Work to install the statue honoring the late Marian Spencer started this week at Smale Riverfront Park. Statue Committee Chair Alice Schneider says the original plan was to put the statue in place in June, but the coronavirus pandemic got in the way. Tom Tsuchiya, the sculptor, had to stop working for a while. We had a bit of a setback, but we are on track now, she says. The construction crew is there pulling up the pavers, digging in, then they re going to put some cement down.
