Representatives Melanie Parker and Bernie Sones told commissioners they would like to "un-incorporate Blackford County Greenway, Inc and dissolve the 301C non-profit entity by the end of 2025," and said the county would consult with the City of Hartford City and Mayor Dan Eckstein about the next steps.

The meeting record notes these items as presentations and public requests; no formal votes or funding approvals related to the nonprofit dissolution or the arts plan were recorded during the session.
