Delphos, OH (WLIO) -Â The City of Delphos was recognized for embracing being part of the 1400 miles of hiking trails that go around the state. …
The $3.5 million grant is coming from the H2Ohio program and will go towards the construction of a 65-acre treatment train outside of town. Water from the canal will run through the treatment train before heading into St. Marys. The idea is to naturally filter out nutrients and sediments from the water before it eventually ends up in Lake Erie. This project is just one part of a bigger plan to restore and clean the waterways that surround St. Marys.
A new bike and pedestrian trail in Allen County will allow Delphos and Spencerville residents to get around easier than before. The Johnny Appleseed Metro Park District just recently finished phase two of its Miami Erie Canal Towpath. An additional four and a half miles of new crush limestone trail were added during this phase, making it a total of 8 miles. The cost of phase two was around $700, making the total $1.2 million. The trail begins off of Zion Church Road and continues through to the southern part of Delphos.
The City of St. Marys is looking to take ownership of land that's part of the town's history. Monday night, St. Marys city council approved to enter into contracts that would switch who controls the land around the Miami and Erie Canal. Right now, the State of Ohio owns that land that is sitting within corporate limits, and St. Marys is hoping to have it transferred to them in the near future.
No shortage of things to do in Delphos this weekend with the annual Canal Days festival going on down Main Street.
It's the 59th year of the Delphos community festival. Chairman Chris Martin says there's a little something for everyone at the festival that runs through Sunday. He says the festival is a way to come together and just have some fun. You've got your classic events like basket bingo, kiddie tractor pull and the golf cart poker run. But some new events have come in to bring more inclusivity.
