Middletown Mayor thanked everyone for coming and acknowledged the council members who were there including Vice Mayor Jim Armuruster, Anita Scott Jones, Josh Laubach, and AJ smith.

The Middletown bike path now is 6.8 miles from Carmody (ST RT 4) to Trenton, St RT 73 just east of the Great Miami River bridge.
