Ceremony unveils new bridge name in honor of late sheriff

The late Greene County Sheriff Brian Tennant was a man who was committed to bridging any gaps between his community and local law enforcement.

Therefore, it is only fitting that a local bridge would be renamed in his honor, which was officially unveiled during a special ceremony held Monday.

Led by state Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Jefferson, the ceremony featured the unveiling of a new sign on each side of the bridge, which is located over the South Fork Ten-Mile Creek at the intersection of South Porter and Lincoln Streets in Waynesburg.

A standing-room-only crowd applauded as Tennant’s family members unveiled the signs, which proudly identify the bridge as the newly renamed Sheriff Brian A. Tennant Memorial Bridge.
