COLUMBIA CITY — A bridge in Columbia City could one day have a new name.
State Sen. Jim Banks proposed legislation to name the Ind. 9 bridge in Columbia City between West Spencer and Hanna Streets after former State Sen. Gary P. Dillon.

Banks did not anticipate the legislation passing this year, but said it had to get started on the process.
