Village will pave parking lot north of fire station in 2020

Need for additional parking grows out of business expansion in that area
Posted by Fred Steiner on December 3, 2019 - 3:33pm

Bluffton council approved a recommendation to pave the village-owned parking lot directly north of the fire station on Main Street.

The  recommendation came on Monday from council’s streets, lights, alley and sidewalk committee (Joe Sehlhorst and Jerry Cupples). 

The project will go on the village’s 2020 paving schedule at an estimated cost of $23,750. The 1,136-square-foot parking lot has space estimated for 34 vehicles.

A need for additional North Main Street parking comes from a growth of businesses in that location.
