Construction
If it appears there is less commercial construction activity in Ross County than a year ago, you’d be correct. But don’t let appearances fool you. According to the first-half figures from the Building Departments of the city andcounty, there has been a 17 percent decrease in the number of commercial building permits issued, but the value of the construction they represent is a 106 percent increase to the first six months of 2007.

In more than 10 years, the chamber’s Leadership program has turned out more than 100 graduates who now are using their skills and knowledge as better employees for their businesses and organizations. The curriculum blends hands-on, out-in-the-field experiences with short courses on teamwork, team building and other aspects of leadership. The next class starts in September.

More than 100 members of the council meet monthly to discuss ways to make their workplaces safer for employees while at the same time earning credit toward discounts in their premiums from the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation. The program year runs August through June.
