Fourth District State Representative, Matt Huffman, R, toured Bluffton on Aug. 7. Speaking first at Bluffton Lions at noon, he later toured Diamond Industries (formerly Colonial Surface Solutions), and Bluffton Hospital.
In his tour of the Diamond Manufacturing, he saw the newly expanded portion of the industry, which included 30,000 square feet. That expansion is for warehouse space, which will free up space used by Diamond in the original building.
The Diamond business, originally located in Delphos, was purchased by Colonial Surface Solutions in 2010.
