Good morning, Fayette County. Mark your calendars for September 9, 2025 – a date that could potentially transform career trajectories across our region. The upcoming Ohio National Guard and ODOT career expo in Delaware will bring together over 40 businesses and agencies, creating a rare opportunity for both veterans and civilians to explore new professional paths. With one-on-one meetings available for those who register early, this collaboration represents precisely the kind of community-focused initiative that helps strengthen our workforce foundations.
Meanwhile, patience has finally paid off in Highland County, where commissioners have accepted completion of their long-awaited records building after a 300-day delay and nearly $2.8 million investment. The facility arrives just as local green thumbs celebrate Shannon Daugherty's impressive sweep at the Highland County Fair Dahlia Show, capturing multiple top honors including Best of Show. Flower enthusiasts can continue the horticultural excitement at the Hillsboro Garden Club's Fall Plant and Bulb Auction on September 23.

🏢 Highland County's records building finally ready after 300-day delay. Commissioners voted to accept the certificate of substantial completion for the long-awaited storage facility that will help alleviate county-wide storage issues. The project, which cost nearly $2.8 million, was originally scheduled for completion in November 2023 but faced numerous delays, resulting in $500 daily liquidated damages. The building's completion comes over three years after commissioners first took action on the project, purchasing the Beech Street lot in May 2022 and contracting with McCarty Associates for design services.
🌸 Shannon Daugherty dominates Highland County Fair Dahlia Show with multiple wins. Daugherty captured Best Ball, Best of Show, and several other categories at the 2025 competition. Diana Phillips also impressed judges, taking home awards for Best Pom and Largest Bloom, while Mark and Lisa Neel earned Best A and Best Other respectively. The show followed American Dahlia Society rules and was supported by seven local business sponsors. Gardening enthusiasts can attend the Hillsboro Garden Club's Fall Plant and Bulb Auction on September 23.
