🚧 Road remix

Good morning, Powell. The landscape of Central Ohio's automotive industry is shifting into high gear as Chesrown Automotive, a family-owned business, adds three Sidney dealerships to its growing empire. This acquisition from Germain Motor Company represents a significant power move in the regional auto retail market, part of a broader trend where dealerships are consolidating to expand their brand portfolios and geographic reach.

While cars are changing hands, roads are changing too. Union County drivers should brace for a summer obstacle course with multiple major closures affecting daily commutes. State Route 38, U.S. 36, State Route 736, and the SR 161/U.S. 33 interchange will all see significant disruptions lasting through 2025. Meanwhile, Marysville City Council gathers tonight at 7pm to tackle firefighter agreements, a substantial 306-acre annexation, and $1.4 million in city improvements—decisions that will shape the community's future long after the orange barrels disappear.
