County officials are aware of damage to the rock wall on the President Harding Memorial west of town and plan to make repairs, said Public Works Director Dave McComb.
County officials first discovered the extensive damage to the southeast corner of the wall on March 13, McComb said. There were no reports to law enforcement, however, about an accident there.
“We are familiar with it, but we don’t know what happened,” McComb said. “We are going to contact someone to get bids to go in and fix it, but it might be a little while before it’s done.”
The wall is within the county’s right-of-way on West Fourth Avenue, so the county is responsible for maintaining it, McComb said.
