Good morning, Jackson County. Two years of hard hats and construction cones are finally paying off — the downtown revitalization is complete, and the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce is throwing a proper celebration at the Courthouse Fountain on September 17th. Come for the ribbon-cutting, stay for the glow-up. Over in Wellston, the OHillCo Festival wrapped its four-day run with a royal crowning ceremony — rain and all — because Appalachian tradition waits for no weather forecast.
Nationally, Airbnb is betting $250 million that building more homes might actually fix the affordability crunch, and Amazon is teaming up with Netflix and YouTube in a streaming alliance that's long overdue. Closer to home, Jacob Tolliver brings live dinner music September 17th, the Travis Brown Band follows on the 22nd, and fresh Real Estate listings are waiting inside.
