FORT JENNINGS — Numerous beautification projects were approved at Tuesday’s Fort Jennings Village Council meeting in preparation for the village’s bicentennial celebration in August. Fort Jennings Park Board President Jerry Siefker saw approval for several park projects including $800 to paint and trim the rec club building; $300 to restone the area behind the building to enhance handicap accessibility and come in line with Americans With Disabilities Act requirements; and $7,000 to paint and seal the tennis courts. Labor for painting and refurbishing of the area behind the club will be done by park board members and Leslie Coatings received the bid for the tennis courts. They will clean, caulk and apply three coats of paint to the courts.
