🏠 Timber to townhomes

Pickaway County • April 3, 2025

​

Good morning, Pickaway County. Abandoned lumber yards rarely get second acts, but Circleville is about to witness exactly that transformation. The former Cellar Lumber site could soon become a vibrant townhome community complete with parks, pools, and a fresh identity for South Central Circleville—though residents will have their chance to weigh in next April before construction begins.

Meanwhile, as Circleville's finest handled everything from domestic incidents on Watt Street to a flurry of false alarms across town, the Blue Lions tennis team was making quick work of their Tiger opponents despite challenging wind conditions. The 4-1 victory showcased Washington's dominance with several shutout performances, while the rebuilding Tigers managed just one win through Reid Seimetz in what's shaping up to be a promising season of local competition on the courts.
