Zanesville Town Council discusses Stoney Creek flooding

The Zanesville Town Council discussed flooding at Stoney Creek Estates during its meeting on Tuesday, June 16.

Town Marshall Carl Collins informed the board that the mobile home park’s remaining residents were evacuated earlier that day. Council Vice President Barbara O’Connor noted that the American Red Cross had set up a shelter in Zanesville United Methodist Church and that some of the park’s residents had availed themselves of it. O’Connor added that the Salvation Army planned on providing food to those people.

The park sits near Eightmile Creek, which recently flooded due to heavy rainfall.

O’Connor encouraged residents to visit the Zanesville Revitalizing Committee’s Facebook page to see updates on the committee’s activities, make suggestions and express interest in getting involved. The group is currently working on plans to offer a farmers market on Saturdays this summer at the town’s municipal building.

Rod Miller, the town’s maintenance worker, was given permission to spend up to $300 on LED lights for the town’s recently-acquired maintenance truck, a Ford F-450.
