Buckeye Hills: $500,000 grant secured to demolish Murray City School; county, consultants to inventory brownfields and finish active-transportation plan
Summary
Buckeye Hills told Hocking County commissioners that a $500,000 Ohio Department of Development grant will fund demolition of the former Murray City School and that the agency will help the county inventory brownfield sites while completing an active‑transportation plan that wraps in June.
Buckeye Hills officials told the Hocking County Board of Commissioners on April 10 that an Ohio Department of Development grant of $500,000 has been awarded to pay for demolition of the former Murray City School. Kate Dunn, senior planner with Buckeye Hills, said the agency will advertise for an engineer to supervise the project and expects demolition “maybe this summer, maybe early fall.”
The update came as Buckeye Hills described a broader offer to help Hocking County identify and remediate brownfield parcels. Commissioners raised the Logan Clay site as an example; a county official said two parcels there are publicly owned and estimated “like 3 and a half acres total,” adding, “I’m not sure. Don’t quote me on that.” Buckeye Hills staff offered to help assemble parcel numbers and create an inventory of publicly and privately owned brownfield sites.
