Mayor Tom Marion wants the area cleaned up
KEOKUK, IOWA -- Remember those arches discovered during the excavation of the old Green Tambourine building in Keokuk?
We asked Mayor Marion where that project stands.
He told us he has sent an e-mail to the group trying to preserve the site to find out how its fundraising is going.
He also wants the area cleaned up so the site doesn't become a nuisance.
He would like to see the hole in the ground filled with sand, which would preserve the arches.
That would help excavations at a later date, if the preservationist group raises enough money.
