Commissioners Corner
August a month of new projects. And the Fair.
August is a busy month for everybody. Usually, families go on vacations
before school starts, there are things to accomplish before fall, and
in Darke County of course it is Fair time! One thing that can be said
for an agricultural county like ours; the Darke County Fair is not only
the best one, it is very important to all the young 4H students and
their parents. The junior fair is what makes the Great Darke County
Fair great! The hard work that goes into the animals and projects the
students submit should be recognized. This effort put in by these
students will set the standard for their success in later years. They
are learning the meaning of hard work, dedication and sacrifice for a
better future. The Darke County Commissioners want to thank all of them
for their hard work, and a job very well done!
Of course, because of the fair there is not a lot that goes on in our
office. One accomplishment was the contract for the ramps between the
hangars at the airport. Sunesis Corp., the people who did the runway,
will start that project hopefully on the week of Sept. 23rd. This is
another project 90% funded by the FAA. We continue to be thankful for a
great relationship with them and ODOT aviation.
In other happenings, JAFE Glass is nearing completion on their new
building. Congratulations to Randy and his wife Lisa on the successful
expansions that have been going on at JAFE the last few years!
Midmark’s new research center is moving along in Versailles, as well as
some new housing projects in the village.
Versailles is just one of our small villages with projects; New Madison
has the new firehouse and water tower, Arcanum is working on a new city
building and has a water treatment plant, and looking into more
housing, Ansonia is looking into new housing expansion also. Greenville
has road and sidewalk projects in the works, as some interest in
housing expansion.
Now that school has started, things should be back to normal again. One
thing that stays the same is our public sessions. We meet every Monday
and Wednesday at 1:30 in our office at 520 South Broadway, just south
of the courthouse (the sign in front says Administration Building).
Hope to see you there!
The Darke County Commissioners
