100 years ago this weekend in Bluffton

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 24, 2013 - 3:32pm

Here's a photo of the 1913 Bluffton flood, which occurred between March 23 and 27, 1913. The flood was much wider than the Riley, as many streams across Ohio flooded.

The Feb. 28, 2011, flood was devastating, but imagine cleaning up after the 1913 flood. Here's a photo of that flood taken on Cherry Street. The building on the very far left houses the Village Cut 'n' Curl today.

The action is on Monday's council agenda. A complete look at the ordinance is part of an attachment at the bottom of this story.

The new ordinance has three phases:
• Existing sidewalk repair
• Construction and installation of connecting sidewalks
• Construction and installation of new sidewalks
