Monday was the end of an era for the Bluffton Industrial Expansion Corporation.

Richard Boehr (center) and Ropp Triplett (right), longtime BIEC members, presented the remains of the corporation's funds to the village on Monday. The village will, in turn, give the proceeds to Bluffton Center for Entrepreneurs.
