The House Sits at the Corner of St Rtes 161 & 37

The Alexandria Community Council raised $9,300 on Saturday night as they support the preservation of the Captain Joseph Scott house near Alexandria.

The Secretary of the Community Council, Donna Herring, says that they need to raise $20,000 this week to save the house that is in the path of the 161 widening project.

ODOT has given Alexandria until Friday to move the house located at state routes 161 and 37.

Anyone interested in assisting with the project is encouraged to attend a meeting Tuesday night at 7 p.m. at the Alexandria United Methodist Church.
