Last year CG Pro Bikes, 127 N. Main St., and the Curling Iron, next door at 129 N. Main, became the first official smoke-free storefront properties on Main Street. The building housing those businesses is owned by Raymond and Liz Harner, who manager the bike shop.
Now a dozen additional Bluffton busineses have joined the smoke-free storefront effort, according to Shelly Miller, health educator at Allen County Public Health. The project is part of Creating Healthy Communities (CHC) Program at the health department.
