🐟 Rainbow trout make a splash at Groveport's Palm Pond. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources released about 600 rainbow trout into the pond in Heritage Park as part of their annual stocking program. This 20-year tradition provides a unique fishing opportunity in an area dominated by warm-water habitats, with eager anglers lining the banks immediately after the release. The stocked fish measure 10-13 inches and have a daily catch limit of five per person. Palm Pond itself is a peaceful one-acre oasis featuring walking paths, wildlife, and even a mini apple orchard planted to honor the town's agricultural heritage.

🚦 Granville's downtown traffic project begins in May with lane closures. The $2 million signalization project will upgrade stoplights, extend sidewalks, and install smart signals at Broadway intersections with Main, Pearl, and Prospect streets. Construction will likely cause some street closures and detours similar to those during downtown events, with crews working primarily during daytime hours.
