Good morning, Pike County. October brings a wave of positive change to our community as InSolves, a woman-owned nuclear firm, expands its Pike County operations with a $225,000 investment. This growth isn't just about equipment—it represents seven new precision manufacturing jobs and strengthens our county's position in advanced technology sectors, bolstered by a $50,000 JobsOhio grant that recognizes the potential right in our backyard.
While infrastructure updates mean navigating around closures on Clinton Furnace Road and temporary restrictions on several others throughout Scioto County this week, there's hope on the horizon in more ways than one. The "Hope in Ohio" event on October 21st at Adena PACCAR Medical Education Center will create space for crucial conversations about mental health resources and support. Registration opens October 3rd—a timely opportunity as our community works together to break down stigmas around mental wellbeing.
