Someone just bought a piece of the old mill... now what? 👀
Good morning, Ross County. Big real estate moves aren't just happening on Wall Street — right here in Chillicothe, a major chunk of the old paper mill just changed hands in a transaction that's turning heads and raising eyebrows. The details are worth a read, especially as questions about the site's future keep stacking up. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq hit a fresh record on AI momentum, and apparently tech stocks are the only ones allowed to have a good September.
Locally, the week's calendar is stacked with a decidedly more hands-on kind of creativity — Upcycle Craft Night kicks things off Monday, followed by a Couple's Painting Night and a drop-in art session on Thursday. Local sports scores and fresh real estate listings are waiting inside too.
