LITTLE HOCKING Belpre Township trustees received $150,000 to help fund the Little Hocking Community Recreation Center.
The recreation center will be at the site of the former Little Hocking Elementary School, which is in the process of being demolished. The school was sold last year to the Belpre Township trustees as the facility was no longer being used.
At the December meeting of the Warren Local School Board of Education, the contract for the demolition was awarded to Raze International Inc. of Shadyside at a cost of $325,190.

The Historic Harmar Bridge has remained turned since March 1, 2020, while scattered efforts to fundraise for its reopening, renovation or restoration have continued into the new year.
On Tuesday, Marietta City Council’s Lands, Buildings and Parks Committee spent the majority of its time discussing a historic landmark that once connected Marietta’s downtown to the Lower West Side.
But today the full legislative body will not introduce or vote upon grant efforts for the Historic Harmar Bridge.
“(For) the proposed legislation for the bridge, we’re talking about having a special meeting next week,” said LBP Chairman Bill Farnsworth on Wednesday after the 10:30 a.m. release of today’s council agenda did not include a resolution of support for a second state grant under consideration. “We don’t have exhibits or any paperwork or anything.”
