Good morning, Marion County. The devastating floods ravaging West Virginia have claimed a ninth life as recovery efforts intensify across Ohio and Marion counties. While Governor Morrisey has mobilized National Guard troops who've already cleared nearly 11,000 tons of debris, the state is providing immediate financial relief through a $500,000 Housing Development Fund allocation. These critical damage assessments underway could determine whether federal disaster assistance becomes available to affected communities still reeling from the destruction.
As we approach Independence Day, Marion residents should note that city services will take a brief pause for the holiday. City Hall, sanitation operations, and Marion Area Transit will close on July 4, with trash collection shifting to Monday, July 7. Both Friday and Monday routes will run that day, so remember to have items curbside by 7 a.m. Essential emergency services will maintain normal operations throughout the celebration—because safety never takes a holiday.
