Final year of the Opera House

During Richwood’s village council meeting on Monday, council provided an update on the planned Opera House demolition, which will be performed by Fisher Excavating out of Marion. The company said that the building would be down by the end of the year but an exact date wasn’t provided. Council said that most of everything that will be saved has already been removed from the building.
