🚀 Job seekers unite

Scioto County • January 9, 2025

Good morning, Scioto County. When opportunity knocks in the Ohio Valley, it tends to bring company. The upcoming EastPark industrial hiring event is rolling out the welcome mat for job seekers, promising to match local talent with the region's growing manufacturing sector. It's a bright spot on our economic horizon, much like Jackson County's own Tiffany Ridgeway, who's stepping into a prestigious leadership role with the County Auditors Association of Ohio.

Amid these career milestones, our community's heart beats strongest during times of challenge. When flames engulfed a Vanceburg home on Fairlane Drive last Saturday morning, our first responders demonstrated that swift action and dedication remain the cornerstone of our community spirit. As the Red Cross steps in to assist those affected, it's another reminder of how our region rallies when neighbors need support.
