​

Good morning, Union County. A century of manufacturing history nears its end as MAHLE's Mt. Sterling facility prepares for closure, affecting 141 workers who will gradually see operations wind down through August 2024. The automotive supplier, which has specialized in climate-neutral mobility technologies since 1920, is restructuring its business while maintaining its Dayton location—a bittersweet reminder of how industrial landscapes continuously evolve in our region.

On a more uplifting note, lifesaving opportunities abound this month as the American Red Cross hosts multiple blood drives across Marysville, complete with Amazon gift card incentives for donors. And for those seeking seasonal entertainment, the Central Ohio Symphony's "Haunted Harmonies" Halloween spectacular on October 25 promises to delight families with spooky classics and music from "The Nightmare Before Christmas," continuing the orchestra's 47-year tradition of community connection through innovative performances.
