Choice One Engineering For Leachate Line. Unemployment Inches Down. Still No Purchase At Goose Creek
Choice One Engineering was awarded an engineering agreement for the Lakengren Force Main by the Preble County Commissioners. The vote was a unanimous 3 -0. This is the leachate pipeline that should have gone to Camden.
The JFS monthly meeting revealed that Preble County unemployment was 12% in April and 11.2% in May. The child support staff is currently down three employees. One in seven Ohio residents is receiving food stamps and half of all births are paid for Medicaid. There are 88 kids under JFS care in Preble County.
The recent issue over a Habitat for Humanity not building a house this year for a lady who had been told she would get one continues to be an issue. The after meeting discussion was a good bit more revealing as to the Commissioners true thoughts on the issue and who they blame.
Discussions and Executive Sessions continue over the possible purchase of land at Goose Creek Crossing. Landowners in the area would be wise to use the search feature of this site for review of the issue, especially zoning.
Once again there was no move to adjourn, the audio just went dead.
