Good morning, Pike County. Opportunity is literally coming to your doorstep this month as the OMJ Mobile Job Center rolls into Waverly on June 17. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., residents can connect with representatives from the Community Action Committee to explore local employment options, educational training, and supportive services—all without the transportation barriers that often limit access to these vital resources.
The summer season is bringing more than just job prospects to our area. Young nature enthusiasts can dive into outdoor adventures at the CSI: Shawnee Science Camp in July, where just $30 buys experiences from kayaking to robotics for students entering grades 6-9. Meanwhile, drivers should prepare for upcoming changes as ODOT begins bridge replacement work on State Route 220 starting June 2—another piece of the infrastructure improvements reshaping our county's transportation network.
