🚦 Street transformation

Union County • July 17, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Union County. East 5th Street is about to get more than just a facelift. Marysville's partnership with ODOT promises comprehensive improvements that will transform the corridor between Poplar and Walnut streets into a safer, more accessible thoroughfare. The clock is ticking for residents to weigh in on design alternatives before the July 30 deadline, with construction slated to begin next summer on changes that will serve the community for years to come.

Meanwhile, life-saving technology has arrived in our emergency response systems. As one of ten Ohio counties piloting Next Generation 911, Union County dispatchers can now pinpoint caller locations with remarkable precision—eliminating the guesswork during critical moments. The upgrade also enables text messages, photos, and videos to be sent directly to emergency services, representing a major leap forward for the 215 call centers across the state. This could make all the difference when seconds count.
