A historic fountain rises again + your neighborhood's next 🔧
Good morning, Athens County. Athens County is still in rebuilding mode after the recent flooding, but progress is happening — infrastructure repairs are moving forward, and city council just greenlit improvements to the Court and State intersection plus a Hudson Street waterline upgrade. Apparently, the county is going full renovation mode this season.
Meanwhile, Nelsonville's historic fountain is finally getting reassembled after what feels like an eternity of delays — a small but satisfying win for the Historic Public Square. On the national front, Nvidia crushed earnings expectations, the Fed is heading into Jackson Hole, and the U.S. economy is still chugging along at a steady pace. Fresh local real estate listings are inside too — plenty to explore today.
