Community Market gift cards have been ordered and will be made available directly from the food pantry on the third Saturday of April and, if necessary, the following Wednesday. 

Intersection projects to move forward with recommended alternatives

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) District 1 has chosen single-lane roundabout designs to improve the safety of two intersections on state Route 309 east of Lima.

During a public meeting in January, roundabouts were the recommended alternative presented for the intersections of state Route 309 at Thayer Road and state Route 309 at Napoleon Road.

The decision was made after ODOT and its consultant, Jacobs Engineering Group of Cincinnati, gathered feedback on the alternatives during stakeholder meetings and a public meeting.

Bluffton council has cancelled its meeting planned at 5:30 p.m., Monday, March 23, according to Kevin Nickel, village fiscal officer.
