March 1 is the start of Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Allen County Board of Development Disabilities has announced:
We will be celebrating all month long. Our theme this year is "Step by Step: From Vision to Reality," which is a continuation of 2024's theme that focused on the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Grant, accessibility and inclusion. Look for the billboards, connect on social media or find other ways to learn more about developmental disabilities during March.
New Bluffton EMS Chief Noah Babcock shared the attached rendering of a proposed kitchen for the remodeled EMS station with Bluffton council. At the station on Washington St., bedrooms are currently being prepared for staff shifts of 24-hours. Creation of a kitchen will be a major update. The facility already includes shower facilities.
On the morning of March 5, 2025, Allen County EMA will be conducting its annual exercise. Due to the exercise, there will be an increased amount of vehicles, to include some first responder vehicles at the Allen County EMA facility. The exercise is expected to last the majority of the morning.
