Decatur’s Board of Works and Safety recently took another step in solidifying its inter-local agreement with Adams County in the move toward a countywide transportation service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its latest meeting, the board gave its approval to have Miller Land Surveying survey a small piece of land near the MERIT Center, which formerly was the Northwest School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving toward the establishment of a countywide transportation service, the city and county recently approved an inter-local agreement between the two which establishes certain criteria for the new service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of that agreement, the city sold .7 of an acre of land in the northwest corner of the MERIT Center lot to the county for $200,000. It is that land which Miller will survey and which will eventually become the site of construction of a garage to hold the council on aging’s fleet of vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* The painting of a large mural on the wall of a downtown building received the board’s approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betsey’s Boutique Shop is moving into the former Bear’s Den on N. Second St. downtown and will have its name on a mural on the side of the building which faces north and overlooks a parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* An ordinance to establish a handicap parking place at 353 S. Third St., on the west side, received approval on two readings, with the third and reading set for the next council meeting, Sept. 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
