Good morning, Findlay.

United Way of Hancock County announced that Findlay High School senior Neeti Barot has been named this year’s Secor Scholar for her academic and volunteer leadership.

She will receive a renewable scholarship ($2,000 each year) to support her studies in biochemical engineering.

University of Findlay set a new record on Day of Giving 2026, with 582 donors raising $236,879 to support student success.

Alumni, faculty and local friends boosted funding through challenge gifts (including several $10,000 contributions) that surpassed the 500-donor goal.

Tomorrow at 12:00 p.m. the Hancock Historical Museum at 422 West Sandusky Street will host a Brown Bag Lecture on how Findlay Airport went from private to public, with Anne Stoner and Kyle Penzinski leading the discussion (free for members, $3 for non-members).

Findlay Family YMCA launched the Worstell Family Center for Excellence to support early educators in Hancock County.

The new initiative will soon host a free county-wide professional development event (OCCRRA-approved training hours) to help childcare professionals build rewarding careers.

The Urban Prairie Project will convert city-owned land along East Main Cross Street into a native prairie with walking paths, trees (with educational features) to improve flood relief.

Funded by a Healthy and Sustainable Communities grant, the project partners with WILD Toledo and the Blanchard River Watershed Partnership.

City officials announced that Norfolk Southern will bid to replace the 150-ft bridge with a 300-ft span over the Blanchard River near Cory Street, with construction set to begin mid-summer once Columbia Gas relocates its pipeline.

The project will reduce flood risks in downtown Findlay.
