Watts Mill Bridge, Condition of Ice Arena Among Work Session Topics

An hour-long weekly work session at the Beaver County Courthouse found Commissioners Dan Camp and Sandie Egley opening the floor to guests and department heads alike. This was in contrast to the previous week where the Board of Commissioners’ updates dominated the meeting.

The main topic for Wednesday’s meeting was the continued speculation over the Watts Mill Bridge in South Beaver Township. Workin’ Bridges, an Iowa-based company that aims to restore historical bridges throughout the United States, appeared at the courthouse to talk about their interest and stake in the bridge built in 1878. Julie Bowers, who is the executive director of Workin’ Bridges, talked about the possible outcomes as she saw them:

 

Bowers also insisted that their passion for restoring bridges could branch out to other bridges in Beaver County; particularly the recently closed Fallston Bridge:

 

 

Meanwhile, Parks and Recreation director Tim Ishman spoke about how the heat has affected the condition of the Beaver County Ice Arena, which he also reminded those in attendance was still open to the public:


Ishman also mentioned during his time that the Economy Park pool was closed for renovation, and that there were several citizens interested in playing pickleball down at the Brady’s Run Park courts.

Commissioner Tony Amadio was absent from the September 5 work session due to a funeral.
