​

Good morning, Muskingum County. Summer has officially shifted into infrastructure season as Zanesville announces a series of strategic road closures beginning July 28. While Blue Avenue loses its northbound lane for storm sewer repairs and County Road 6 shuts down for culvert replacement, city workers will be knocking on doors to identify lead service waterlines—all critical updates for your daily commute planning. Meanwhile, mark your calendars for the Sheriff's impound auction on August 2 and National Night Out on August 5.

Innovation continues to spread throughout our region as the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office makes Ohio history by becoming the first law enforcement agency to implement advanced weather monitoring technology. This breakthrough coincides with OhioHealth Southeastern Medical Center launching initiatives to support newborn health through specialized equipment and family assistance programs. Meanwhile, Coshocton County buzzes with summer activities—from ice dyeing classes to Broadway-themed concerts and community celebrations—offering something for everyone as July transitions into August.
