The first ordinance under consideration involves a lease agreement between the Norfolk Southern Railroad and the village. The village is considering a lease with the railroad, which could provide for a biking and walking path from the County Line Road to the restaurant area along State Route 103.

More details on the path will follow on The Icon.

Over 200 holiday maps showing where to view Bluffton holiday lights were distributed over the weekend around Bluffton.

• Service stations on State Route 103

The map is also avialable in a printer-friendly format on the Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce website.
