By Michael Williamson, Richwood Gazette
The Union County Board of Developmental Disabilities is looking to put a
levy on the ballot this November.
Superintendent Kara Brown said the board is still a few years out from
asking for new money, but with the constant growth in the county, a renewal
of existing money is definitely needed.
County commissioners approved that first step in the process Wednesday,
paving the way for the DD board to put its 2.4 mill renewal levy on the
ballot this fall.

CVB talks summer programs, finances
By Michael Williamson, Richwood Gazette
Union County is gearing up for summer events and with that comes an influx
of visitors to the area.
The county’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Director Karen Eylon said it’s
their job to attract those visitors to the community through planning those
events and promoting the county. Given the growth and changes in the area,
Eylon said the organization is now doing business as Union County Tourism,
partly as a way to look at and manage those changes.
“We’re a destination marketing organization for Union County,” she said.
The CVB operates as a division of the Chamber of Commerce although Eylon
said the organization is not technically a count entity.
