Commissioner Henry announced a public hearing for the Delaware County Drainage Board set for 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025, to consider reconstruction of Hogg Creek, a regulated drain in Salem Township.

The hearing will precede the regular drainage board meeting. Board members discussed the site location—off 700 East north of State Road 32 near Middletown—and noted the project is close to the road, which could prompt questions from nearby property owners. Speaker 4 said the reconstruction will also help protect the adjacent roadway.

Commissioners invited interested residents to attend the Dec. 10 hearing to offer comments or questions. The Stormwater Board did not take action on the reconstruction at the Dec. 1 meeting; the item was announced solely to notify the public of the upcoming Drainage Board hearing.
