The Monday, February 10 meeting of the Village of Bluffton Council will introduce a proposed change for a Bluffton institution of longstanding and a building of even older date.

The first reading of two ordinances relate to the premises currently owned and operated by the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club on property owned by the Village of Bluffton at Buckeye Park. The first ordinance would allow for the mutual termination of the Village lease with the club. The second would establish a lease with the Bluffton Ohio Historical Society for the same building.

The building is a c.1900 train depot that was moved to the 405 N. Spring St. location in the 1980s and has been restored by the Bluffton Sportsmen's Club members. The building provides event rentals and is regularly used by American Legion Post 382, Bluffton Boy Scout troops and the Sportsmen's Club.
