Let me tell you, my friend, Elaine Marsh is the furthest thing from being boring, but she does have a tunnel boring machine named in her honor! Cool, right?!
🌊💙 Friends of the Crooked River would like to take a moment to celebrate and express gratitude for Elaine Marsh, a selfless warrior and unwavering voice for the Cuyahoga River. For decades, Elaine has poured her heart, soul, and endless passion into protecting and restoring our river. Her compassion and dedication remind us all how one person’s commitment can make a pivotal difference.
Elaine’s incredible impact is so profound that the City of Akron named the new tunnel boring machine for the Northside Interceptor Tunnel Project after her! This project is a critical step in reducing combined sewer overflows (CSO) and enhancing water quality throughout the Cuyahoga River. The following Akron Beacon Journal article reveals her remarkable story: https://akronbeaconjournal-oh.newsmemory.com/?publink=04aa917f1_134f81f
Elaine, you’ve been the river’s advocate, unsung hero, and protector—standing up for its health, beauty, and future when it needed it most. Your work has inspired countless others to care deeply for our environment, and the impact of your efforts will continue to ripple outward, just like the waters you've worked tirelessly to protect!
We are eternally grateful for you, Elaine. Thank you for being the voice of the Cuyahoga River. 🌿💧
