Good morning, Ross County. Fall is officially making its case — Oktoberfest is coming to downtown Chillicothe, and yes, the wiener dog races are open for registration, which is honestly the most important sentence in today's newsletter. While the city gets its lederhosen ready, Chillicothe City Council is deep into its third round of discussions on a potential data center at the old paper mill site — one of the bigger policy conversations shaping what comes next for the city.
On a sobering note, a serious crash on U.S. 35 Friday left a 33-year-old man requiring MedFlight transport, and state troopers are still piecing together what happened. Nationally, Nvidia, Boeing, and Amazon are all making noise for very different reasons. Fresh local real estate listings are also waiting inside.
