The Huntington City Council
applauded the success of receiving a national grant Monday and gave permission
for Mayor Steve Williams to request for resources on behalf of the Healing
Place during their meeting.
Williams said that there are great
opportunities we have before us in our city and that the property between
Marshall University and Highlawn represent a magnificent opportunity, but it’s
also a reminder of recent failures.
The next step, according to
Williams, is cleaning the potentially harmful areas and creating recreational
areas and transforming Riverfront Park.
During the meeting, a resolution
passed to authorize the mayor to request for a Governor’s Community Partnership
Program to help fund the Healing Place.
Besides the approval for the
request of grants, the council moved on to discuss, as well as praise, the
efforts of the Public Works Department in their efforts of snow removal.
Williams acknowledged complaints
addressed about the cities pothole issues and said to submit all appeals to
their districts council member by March 20.
At the end of the meeting, the
council unanimously selected Michael J. Emerson for is first term with the
Huntington Municipal Development Authority.
