Ohio just gave Jackson County 360 acres — here's the catch 🌿
Good morning, Jackson County. Ohio just handed the county a pretty solid gift — nearly 360 acres of newly protected natural land, including a 193-acre expansion of Lake Katharine State Nature Preserve and a brand-new preserve called White's Gulch. Not a bad week for the trees. On the storm front, Jackson County is being considered for federal assistance following recent severe weather, so relief could still be coming for those who took a hit.
Meanwhile, the Ironmen kicked off fall sports with a buzzy Week 1 matchup against Unioto — southeast Ohio football season is officially alive. Nationally, Wall Street is holding its breath for Nvidia earnings and a fresh inflation reading that could steer the Fed's mood. Fresh local listings are also waiting over in Real Estate.
