Bluffton residents have a chance to get an update on the State Route 103 corridor safety study this week. A public meeting is at 5:30 p.m., Thursday, July 6, in the town hall. (The Icon earlier incorrectly listed the meeting as taking place on Wedneday)

Bluffton’s newest sign will carry our oldest year.
The village has contracted with Kohli and Kaliher Associates of Lima to provide the Ohio Department of Transportation with details, drawings and notes for a new sign on the Bentley Road – Interstate 75 overpass.
Cast in cement, the sign will read: “BLUFFTON est. 1861.”
According to the Lima firm, the letters will be formed into the concrete parapets (walls) and will be painted to stand out from the wall.
The price for this project is not to exceed $5,000. The formation of the sign might be in place by August.
