Explanation
John Glenn Avenue serves Rickenbacker International Airport in southern Franklin County and is the scene of current and planned commercial development. This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a $260,000.00 contract with American Consulting, Incorporated, for design of the John Glenn Avenue Improvement project for the Transportation Division.
