12 projects, one big pot of money — who's getting what? 💰
Good morning, Jackson County. Nearly $27,000 is heading into 12 local projects — mental health support, food assistance, youth programming — and honestly, that's the kind of news that makes you feel good about where you live. Oak Hill and Jackson both have a piece of the funding, so the impact should spread across a lot of zip codes. On a heavier note, a 17-year-old is recovering in Columbus after a serious Liberty Township crash, and a rape trial is underway with some deeply troubling testimony that's hard to read but important to follow.
Nationally, trade tensions are still churning — Canada and the U.S. aren't exactly exchanging friendship bracelets right now — and investors are watching Fed signals closely. When you're ready for something more grounded, fresh local listings are waiting over in Real Estate.
