Evergreen Recycling plant sold for $7 million
The empty Evergreen Recycling LLC buildings and manufacturing plant in Clyde has been sold for $7 million. Forever Green Plastics LLC purchased the two Clyde properties, 13.3 acres at 609 Elm St. and 21.36 acres at 202 Watertower Drive. As previously reported, Evergreen made a $22 million expansion at that facility to manufacture food-grade recycled PET (rPET), then abruptly closed in February. The $7 million deed transfer is evidence of a transaction, but doesn't establish whether Forever Green bought the operating business, is a successor company, is controlled by Evergreen's owners/lenders, or merely acquired the real estate. Property transfer records show the business is using the 202 Watertower Drive address as its official address with the Sandusky County auditor. A mass layoff notice of 165 workers, issued under the WARN Act as required by Ohio Law, was made on Feb. 24 by Evergreen. The notice indicated that all Evergreen Recycling facilities would be closed. “This one happened very quickly. We didn’t, and the company didn’t, really even have that much notice. They let us know as soon as they heard, and we’ve been running since," Assistant Director of Sandusky County OhioMeansJobs Center Casey Nead said in February. "This one was

'We need help:' Woodville fire chief seeks volunteers
If you've ever dreamed of being a firefighter, Chief Tim Schnitker of the Woodville Township Volunteer Fire Department would like to talk with you. Woodville’s fire department, like many other small fire departments in the area, is struggling to find volunteers. That struggle means that many of those departments often have to rely on mutual aid to cover emergencies. “It’s not like the old days when grandpa would leave the grocery store, Bob Hathaway would leave the gas station and Bob Schutz would leave the hardware,” Woodville Fire Chief Tim Schnitker said. “We don’t have that anymore. We have a lot of people who live here, but work out of town.” Woodville has EMS service 24/7/365 which is manned by Sandusky County out of Woodville’s fire station; so, even when shorthanded, an ambulance is still on call. “People don’t realize that we’re not there all the time,” said Schnitker. “When the pager goes off, we respond from where we are when we can. Our biggest struggle is Monday through Friday when everyone’s at work.” “We joke that we have one of the best jobs for no pay,” Schnitker said. That’s a bit of an exaggeration, as the firefighters do get

Data center restrictions gain momentum across northwest Ohio
Successful citizen-led ballot initiatives limiting the size of data centers have led to a flurry of activity in other Toledo-area municipalities since the Nov. 3 election, including Whitehouse, Waterville, and Rossford. Volunteers turned over signed petitions for those three communities on Thursday, Friday, and Monday, respectively. They claim they gathered more than enough signatures for the Lucas County Board of Elections to certify them and require each of those municipalities to put similar ballot issues in front of voters in those communities. Next up are Perrysburg, Maumee, and Bowling Green. Toledo, which would need many more signatures because of its size, could eventually be targeted as well, said Lyn Cox, county lead for Conserve Ohio’s grassroots efforts in Lucas and Wood counties. Petitions have come back from printers for Perrysburg and Maumee, and are expected to be available in the next day or two for Bowling Green, she said. In the coming weeks, citizen-led ballot initiatives also will begin in Sylvania and Holland, Ms. Cox said. The activity comes in the aftermath of Oregon’s overwhelming vote in favor of a charter amendment that bans the construction of data centers that require 25 megawatts or more of electricity, which eliminates hyperscale
