Good morning, Meigs County. Four confirmed measles cases have the local health department on alert — a reminder that some old-school threats haven't quite gotten the memo that it's 2025. Health officials are actively tracking the outbreak, so keep an eye on updates from the county. On a brighter note, Meigs County just landed $35,000 in water system grants from the Ohio EPA, which means cleaner, safer infrastructure for Pomeroy residents down the road.
Meanwhile, the Meigs County Fair is powering through its own hurdles to keep the tradition alive — because a little adversity never stopped a good funnel cake. Nationally, the economy is sending cautiously optimistic signals, with leading indicators ticking up and jobless claims easing off. Fresh local real estate listings are also waiting inside whenever you're ready to browse.
