The Historic Harmar Bridge has a storied, more than 150-year history, with its first iteration across the Muskingum River open to pedestrians and those traveling by horse and buggy.
The trajectory toward solvency continued Tuesday for the Historic Harmar Bridge Company, with internal controls for financial accounting and federal nonprofit standing discussed in the group’s monthly board meeting.
Board Director Charlotte Keim, a Marietta real estate agent and past CEO and president of the Marietta Area Chamber of Commerce, introduced suggested protocols and safety checks to restore public and government trust in the group which lapsed in its nonprofit 501(c)3 status with the Internal Revenue Service both in 2013 and 2018.
