Holland, Ohio

The McCord Road underpass is coming along pretty good. A new baseball field called Rail Park is next to the the tracks on front street costing $40k, and the dirt from the underpass was used for the baseball field. One man's junk is another man's treasure. It's already being used a lot by little leagues. What a great way to reuse.

Good to hear. In March I saw the progress and it was quite progressive from when I saw it last.

I have noticed little change since the roundabout went in, but I'm sure something has been happening

I saw the bridge forming in its spot. Making more progress. Then they'll move the tracks back into the direct line like they had them before. :D
