$5M just landed here — and tonight it gets dramatic 🎭
Good morning, Ross County. Five million dollars is heading to Chillicothe, and it's coming with surgery suites, a hotel, a restaurant, and a healing garden attached. The Great Seal Medical Campus is the kind of development that makes you realize southern Ohio isn't waiting around for anyone's permission to grow. It's part of a $1.3 billion statewide push — and Ross County landed a very nice slice of it.
On the warmer side of the news, over 100 neighbors showed up to shower 52 local moms with resources and love at this year's Community Baby Shower — proof that this community still knows how to show up for each other. Nationally, Ford, Toyota, and the U.S. Treasury are all making big moves. Plus, Tecumseh! takes the stage Tuesday, bluegrass follows Wednesday, and fresh listings are waiting inside.
