A group of local volunteers got together and constructed a beautiful, new playhouse for area children to play in! Volunteers from the United Way of Greater Lima pulled out the power tools and put together a 6-foot long, 5-foot wide, and 7-foot high cedar wood log cabin playhouse along with a garden center. The new playhouse and garden center was built at the West Ohio Cap Early Learning Center area for the children in the Head Start program, giving them a safe place to learn and play. Volunteers say building the playhouse is a great way to give back to the community.

Dana Incorporated says they will be closing the Lima facility in 2025. The company has confirmed that they are moving the production from the Lima plant, located at 777 Bible Road Lima, Ohio, to other plants in the United States by the end of 2025. The union workers were told about the move Wednesday morning. The plant has been in operation since 1970 and manufactures drive shafts for trucks and commercial vehicles.

Bath Fire Chief Joe Kitchen says heavy smoke and fire were coming from a building just behind the main plant a little after 4 a.m. The building houses Dana's main compressor system, the fire didn't make it to the primary manufacturing plant.

In a press conference on Tuesday, the NAACP has come forward to say that they have received complaints against many corporations in the Lima area.

There's word tonight a local plant will have to close down a couple of shifts due to an electrical outage.
