Good morning, Findlay.

Allen County Commissioners approved an agreement to extend Jay Begg Parkway by 800 to 1000 feet in Shawnee Township to support a proposed 110,000-square-foot warehouse and distribution center that could create about 25 permanent jobs and hundreds of construction jobs.

The project, a partnership between the Allen County Port Authority and VanTrust Real Estate Development that includes a $1.5 million road improvement at the intersection, will break ground before the start of 2026 — a significant new business development for the region.

University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum will begin its 2025-26 Funday Sunday series on October 26 with free art, construction, and STEAM activities for families—featuring a 'Build Tomorrow with Habitat for Humanity' theme to mark the nonprofit’s 25th anniversary, with resident author Merrill Rainey leading creative projects for children.
