Good morning, Delaware County. Northwest Bank is making it official — Dublin is getting a new corporate headquarters, which is a pretty solid vote of confidence in Central Ohio's continued growth. Closer to home, a fire tore through a storage facility at Freeman's Farm in Genoa Township overnight, though thankfully the historic barn survived. Investigators are still piecing together the cause while the farm takes a temporary pause.
Meanwhile, Westerville families are still navigating a bus driver shortage that's left routes uncovered — not exactly the back-to-school smoothness anyone was hoping for. On the national front, Canada's retaliatory tariffs and Wall Street's latest drama round out a busy morning. Fresh local real estate listings are also waiting inside, if browsing properties sounds like a better use of your lunch break.
