Watt Center Work Underway

The recently approved “big trim painting project” at the former Watt Car and Wheel factory office is underway.  A sub-contractor power washed the exterior of the building this past week in advance of the complete trim painting and window work.

The work funded by Watt Center and Village of Barnesville funds is also supported by a GAP Grant from the Belmont County Tourism Council

It is expected the work will be completed before the Barnesville Elementary School Art Show that will take place at the center in late April.
