A $750,000 federal grant will help Adena Health System buy and equip two ambulances to transport patients in southern Ohio. The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development awarded the Community Facilities grant to expand Adena Health's emergency medical services transportation capabilities, according to a community announcement.

The announcement said the additional vehicles will improve access to health care for rural residents and seniors with limited transportation options. USDA Rural Development Ohio State Director Charles Tassell presented the grant in Chillicothe with Rep. Dave Taylor of Ohio's 2nd Congressional District and Brynn Stepp from Sen.

We’re proud to help connect the people of Southern Ohio with Adena Health’s lifesaving work.” USDA Rural Development's Community Facilities programs provide direct loans, loan guarantees and grants for essential public services and facilities in rural communities.

Ross, Pike County data centers differ greatly in size, power and water use

CHILLICOTHE— Data centers, data centers, data centers. Between the proposed data center in Chillicothe and the data center being built in Pike County it can feel like all anyone is talking about is data centers. That doesn't even begin to include all the conversations about the other data centers being built and either supported or protested by communities around the country. With so much talk, it is easy to get confused, especially when you are talking about two sites so close together, like the ones in Ross and Pike counties, which are less than 40 miles apart. Both of these projects involve turning brownfield sites into data centers, but that is largely where the similarities stop. Based on what project leaders from both sites have said, the centers will vastly vary in size, energy and water usage and more. Ross County The proposed data center in Chillicothe would be built on the former paper mill site, which is owned by U.S. Paper Mill, which is leasing the land to Alignment Engine. During a public meeting in September , David Stanfill with Alignment Engine said the proposed data center for Chillicothe is expected to be 6.5 acres in size, offer around
