Community vision carries sculpture park through 20-year evolution in Gibsonburg
Gibsonburg is on the way to nowhere ... except Gibsonburg. Vehicles do not drive through the northwest Ohio village to get to somewhere else. It is its own destination. Countyline grain elevators dominate the village's skyline just as the Willis Tower, once called the Sears Tower, reigns over Chicago. That city of 2.6 million may have a rowdy Navy Pier but the 2.4 thousand people in Gibsonburg have a sculpture park that just won't quit. “You have to be going to Gibsonburg to get to Gibsonburg,” said James Havens, from his sculpture studio set along a quarry. Metal images dot the grounds as a mini-version of Sculpture in the Village, created in 2005 at Williams Park. In fact, his pieces served as the inspiration for that public space.

Perrysburg Twp. trustees will rebid $3.7M administration building project
The process to build a new Perrysburg Township administration building has reversed. At this week’s meeting, the trustees voted to rebid the $3.7 million project after an attorney for one of the companies that was not awarded the construction bid complained about the process. The bid had been awarded to Rudolph Libbe Inc., of Walbridge, Ohio, on June 5. “Since that time, one of the other firms has contested the proposal, saying that it had deficiencies,” said township Administrator Jon Eckel. “I have talked with our attorneys and to avoid any future problems or issues with this, we have decided that we will redraft that proposal.”
