On Monday, Sept. 15, the Bluffton council Street, Alleys, Light and Sidewalk Committee recommended to the full council to amend Ordinance No. 07-13 to extend the deadline for sidewalk repairs until July 15, 2015, for properties on the east side of Main Street.  

Jesse Blackburn of the village, told The Icon, "The committee was pleased with the current 42% response rate from residents regarding sidewalk repairs."

Please continue to contact Blackburn at 419-358-2066, ext. 102, before any repairs are started to ensure the repair will be approved and obtain a required Sidewalk Permit.
