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

Fremont mayor critical of court's leniency of man who threatened him

FREMONT – Judge number three took the bench at the Fremont Municipal Court Nov. 3 in the case of the man who left a threatening voicemail for Fremont Mayor Danny Sanchez . The man who said Sanchez was on a hit list paced back and forth outside the courtroom door, periodically sitting on the bench with victims and other offenders. His sentencing for aggravated menacing and telecommunications harassment, both first-degree misdemeanors, was to take place Nov. 3. The man pleaded guilty to the charges Sept. 15. Sentencing was delayed for at least 30 days for a previously ordered pre-sentence investigation. The probation department that conducts them was not informed of the court order, so did not conduct the investigation. Under Marsy’s Law, also known as the Ohio Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights, the probation officers include a victim’s impact statement outlining how the crime affected the victim's life. Meanwhile, an increasingly irritated Sanchez stood outside the courthouse giving a laundry list of problems with the case and argued some probable violations of Marsy's Law occurred. “I don’t think I’ve been represented fairly in this case as a victim,” Sanchez said. “I don’t feel I deserve any special treatment, but I

State seizes 87 illegal slot machines in Fremont, Findlay

FREMONT — An investigation into illegal gambling resulted in the seizure of 28 slot machines at a business in Fremont. Players Circle, 1306 Oak Harbor Rd., was searched by the Ohio Casino Control Commission and Fremont police as part of an illegal gambling investigation. Officials said the investigation began after receiving complaints that the business was operating gaming machines in violation of Ohio law. “It has been consistently demonstrated that illegal gambling harms communities, undermines public safety, and negatively impacts the Ohioans who live in them,” said Andromeda Morrison, the commission’s interim executive director. “Shutting down this illegal gambling site will prevent further harm to the community. “Our enforcement efforts remain focused on rooting out illegal gambling operations and will continue collaborating with our law enforcement partners to uphold the integrity of gaming in Ohio,” she said. Investigators also seized an undisclosed amount of money. The seizure comes on the heels of a search last week in Findlay. In that instance, commission officials and local police searched the Bank at 2720 N. Main St. They seized 59 suspected illegal slot machines along with an undisclosed amount of money, officials said.
