Janette (Benroth) Reineke and Dick Boehr, members of the Benroth Memorial Bridge committee, recently addressed Bluffton Council regarding the need for maintenance work on the structure at Buckeye Park. Created in 1998 to honor Eugene Benroth, a.k.a. "Mr. Bluffton," the committee raised some $80K to build the bridge. Graffiti and a failing roof are among the issues noted by Reineke and Boehr. Village Administrator Jesse Blackburn responded that roof work is planned for 2026.
