As part of its ongoing changes to meet customer needs and traffic changes, Delaware County Transit has announced an upcoming change to its schedule. In fact, the company is adding an entirely new express line to its system.

The new DCT Express Route schedule will be as follows:

Demand for travel is high and Ohio is well-positioned to attract tourists from outside and inside the state. Take this past weekend for example – AAA expected Ohio travel would build on the record travel numbers set in 2021 to reach a new high this Independence Day. National numbers are expected to fall just shy of 2019.
In 2021, Ohio’s tourism industry reported its second-best year ever with nearly $47 billion in visitor spending, which was only slightly behind its record year in 2019 of $48 billion. A recent travel forecast from the U.S. Travel Association (USTA) confirms this is far better than the United States average in 2021, which was only 76% of 2019 total travel spending. The USTA predicts that the rest of the U.S. won’t be back to record levels until 2024, yet Ohio is already leading the way when it comes to travel and tourism.
“This year Ohio is on track to set another tourism record,” said Gov. Mike DeWine. “The diversity of our state, from our beautiful state parks that are always free for visitors, to our charming small towns and our vibrant cities – Ohio offers something for everyone.” More…

Ohio utility companies have asked state regulators for permission to raise home gas, electric and water costs on more than 2.75 million Ohio customers.
Those charges could be spread between customers of Columbia Gas, AES Ohio, Duke Energy, and Aqua Ohio. The utilities, all investor-owned, are collectively asking for another $400 million in annual charges.
Any base rate increases require the approval of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, which is headed by five commissioners chosen by the governor for five-year terms. The PUCO’s staff review the companies’ requests and pose recommendations to the commissioners, who decide what the utilities can ultimately charge their customers.
The utilities’ requests come in an inflationary period — consumer prices are up 8.6% over the year ending May 2022 and unleaded gas costs just below $5 per gallon. Last week, the head of the U.S. Federal Reserve said a recession is a possibility. More…

Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today announced plans to unify its Central Ohio operations by relocating its corporate office and headquarters to a location adjacent to the company’s existing Westerville locations. The move will create a walkable, three-building campus, facilitating collaboration among employees.
“This move will allow us to better align our teams to streamline workflow and improve communication and collaboration across the organization,” said Rob Johnson, Vertiv CEO. “Our company has been proud to call Central Ohio home for more than 70 years, and it’s fitting that Central Ohio has become one of the hottest data center and technology hubs in the country. This is where we want to be, and we are excited to expand our Westerville campus and centralize our corporate operations.”
Vertiv will lease the 72,000+ square-foot building at 505 N. Cleveland Ave., within easy walking distance of the company’s existing locations at 610 Executive Campus Drive and 530 Westar Blvd. Vertiv is planning to renovate the new space over the next few months before welcoming employees there in the fall. The new location will house about 300 Vertiv associates, most of whom are currently based at the company’s existing headquarters, 1050 Dearborn Drive in Columbus. More…

A visit to the website of Yohan Pizza, a Westerville go-to place for fresh pizza and more, would not leave on with the impression that the business is in its last few days of operation.
Nevertheless that is the case, as the almost 30 year old restaurant will close soon as the current difficulty in finding labor continues to take its toll in the food industry.
An announcement on the shop’s Facebook page on Wednesday shared the news: “Yohan Pizza will be closing permanently. Our final day of operation will be May 28, 2022. Thanks to all of our customers. It has been a pleasure serving you.” More…
