🦠 Measles math

Good morning, Dublin. The number 42 is raising alarm bells across Ohio as measles cases continue to spread, with Franklin County reporting its fifth case in an unvaccinated child who traveled internationally. This latest development comes amid the largest nationwide measles surge in over three decades, with 1,563 cases reported across 42 states. Health officials are closely monitoring exposure sites including New Albany Learning Center and Target as the 21-day watch period concludes Thursday.

Meanwhile, legal excellence takes center stage as 613 top-rated Columbus attorneys earn recognition across 59 specialties in a comprehensive new directory. And downtown Gahanna stands on the precipice of transformation with a proposed $105 million Creekside District redevelopment that could join other ambitious projects reshaping the Columbus region, including the recently opened $145 million first phase at Polaris.
