Retro Report: The opening of Walmart and its effect on local business

Twenty-four years before Chick-fil-A opened on East State Street, people were standing a few hundred feet away protesting another national chain: Walmart. When the Walmart Supercenter opened in 2002, its arrival came after years of pushback from Athens residents concerned about what a retailer of its size could mean for local businesses and the city around them. Today, Walmart is a normal part of East State Street. Chick-fil-A is its newest neighbor.

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

Centrus ships first American made centrifuge from Oak Ridge to Ohio

The staff at Centrus Technology and Manufacturing Center at 400 Centrifuge Way in Oak Ridge on Oct. 29 joined politicians, along with company and government leaders, in celebrating the shipment of the first new American-made, advanced AC100M centrifuge as part of Centrus Energy Corp.’s multibillion-dollar expansion. The company is expanding its capacity to make thousands of gas centrifuges in Oak Ridge and to use those machines in the plant the company has been enlarging in Ohio to enrich uranium at traditional and higher concentrations for future nuclear power plants housing conventional or next-generation, advanced reactors. Pieces of the gas centrifuge have been shipped by truck to Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, where the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant previously enriched uranium.

The achievement marks the assembly of a complete, unobligated supply chain to serve both the commercial and national security markets.” “ Completing the first new centrifuge for our expansion and standing up a one-of-a-kind supply chain are significant moments for our team and

The Ohio Amish Bulk Food Store Where Deli Meat And Baking Supply Prices Make Shoppers Look Twice

A deli counter on a quiet country ridge road slices local lunch meat at prices that make regular grocery receipts look a little silly. That alone got my attention. The same small Ohio shop sells specialty flours in commercial-size bags. It also stocks spices, canning supplies, and the tiny dry marshmallows that big supermarkets always seem to forget.
