The Division of Water owns property with existing structures that are in poor repair and of no use to the Division.

Community Planning Areas: 8140 Schott Rd. - “4 - Rocky Fork Blacklick”
2074 Weigand Rd. - “N/A” (Pickaway Co.)
2.0 ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT: One of the structures to be demolished is located on property that was purchased as protected buffer area surrounding the Hoover Reservoir (Schott).
