At the Feb. 18 meeting of Sugarcreek Council, Sugarcreek Mayor Walt Wilson said the Shanesville Lutheran Church has requested a handicapped parking space to be installed. The church is located at the intersection of state Route 39 and state Route 93 in Sugarcreek.
“The space would have to be located south on state Route 93. Police Chief Kevin Kaser will look into the feasibility of the location, and if necessary, the item will be submitted to a committee,” Wilson said.
