Why Grayson, KY may never have a Walmart… (and why it’s okay)

One of the most common things I see people in this town asking for is a Walmart. It’s something I’ve never fully understood, for several reasons. For one, our nearest Walmart is only 15–20 minutes away. It’s literally about 10 miles from town, and if you can’t make the drive, you can even have groceries delivered to your house, including in places like Hitchins.

Pump failure threatens toxic plume in Chillicothe

CHILLICOTHE — Chillicothe residents are being warned about a pump failure in a well being run by the U.S. Paper Mill, which could cause issues with the toxic plume beneath Chillicothe. On Nov. 12, the U.S. Paper Mill alerted the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to a pump fracture on a water well that has been containing a toxic plume of underground chemicals. The decades-old, 90-foot pump will need replaced, which will cost thousands of dollars. More about the Plume: Will the toxic underground plume in Chillicothe be affected by new owner of mill site? The migration of this plume, which was caused by a cookware manufacturing plant that closed in the 1990s, was a concern for many when the Pixelle paper mill announced it was closing down. Since then, the new owners have been pumping water into the well to keep the underground water tables away from the plume. In a news release, the U.S. Paper Mill said that migration of the plume could, over time, contaminate land and groundwater in farmland, residences, and the Scioto River. U.S. Paper Mill is working on a solution, but they are not sure how long it will take to solve this problem. "As
