Good morning, Jackson County. Mother Nature didn't exactly ease us into the week — heavy rain left Jeff Montgomery Way underwater and a downed tree blocking State Route 327 north of Wellston, so check your route before you head out. While local roads recover, there's an interesting economic storyline brewing closer to home: a Jackson cannabis operation just closed $17 million in real estate financing and bought full ownership of its local property — not a bad pivot for the county's business landscape.
On the national front, the Treasury market is rattling traders, the debt clock keeps ticking past $40 trillion, and storms are hammering the Northeast too — so we're all in this soggy boat together. Fresh local listings are waiting over in Real Estate, dry and ready for browsing.
