Two 2020 Bluffton village projects became victims of COVID-19 on Monday.
Bluffton council placed its Jefferson Street Phase 2 project, scheduled for 2020, on hold, and the council slashed its 2020 street program nearly in half. The action is due to anticipate lower village and state revenues this year.
• April and March board agendas at the bottom of this story
Bluffton’s school board will act on a resolution on Monday, which continues distance learning until the earlier of:
1 - the expiration of the Ohio Director of Health’s order, local board of health order, or an extension of any order, or
2 - or the end of the 2019-20 school year.
In addition to that, the board’s primary focus is on action pertaining to next school year.
