Marietta may be ‘Historic District’
—no threat to owners’ rights
—tax status will change —in about six months

residents of Marietta got
letters from the Depart-
ment of the Interior in

that their homes were
being considered for an
“Historic District.”” If you
got one of these letters, or
even of you didn’t, you
might be wondering what
it’s all about.

there will be free blood

important, it means that

Taken from a blueprint, the above map shows the location of the new development
which is to be built in Marietta. The plans call for 25 apartments and 25 townhouses;
total acreage is 2.521. The development will be known as ‘‘Riverview Park.”
The townhouses will each have two bedrooms, as will ten of the apartments. The
other fifteen apartments will have one bedroom. There will be 87 parking places.
Council approved the plans last August 9th. Trees will be left in place, and areas
have been set aside for recreation and picnicing.
