Blockton Gets Grant to Purchase New Flags

The Taylor County Endowment Foundation awarded the City of Blockton a grant to purchase new service flags to fly at the Freedom Rock outside the Community Building to honor all those who have served or are currently serving in the Military.

The Blockton City Council met in the Community Hall on Tuesday, July 7th.

Roy and Chris Cavin addressed the council regarding flooding that the city experienced last month during storms. They suggested a larger drainage pipe be installed to prevent future flooding of buildings, basements, and public recreational areas.

The city was denied a grant to reset headstones at the Cemetery.

The Ambulance got one call in June. There were no fire calls.

Discussion was held on the removal or trimming of trees at the fence line in the Cemetery.

Taylor County delivered several loads of rock to the city.

The shelter house will be painted after the weather cools down.

Discussion was held regarding the possibility of having the roof inspected.

At the June meeting, the city thanked numerous volunteers who helped beautify Rose Hill Cemetery for Memorial Day Weekend.

In May, the Fire Department purchased and installed a brand new sign at the fire station.
