In this week’s edition of The News Man Weekly podcast, Richland Source City Editor Carl Hunnell is joined by Richland County Commissioner Tony Vero, as well as B.J. Price and Adam McElroy from Skate Ohio.
Hunnell and Vero talk about a variety of topics, including ongoing efforts to complete the demolition and cleanup of the former Westinghouse sites in Mansfield; the project to build a "broadband network" along the U.S. 30 corridor across north central Ohio; and how the county decided to spend more than $23 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars.
Skate Ohio announced last week ArcelorMittal will award the non-profit with $50,000 to help modernize the existing skate park at Veteran’s Park in Shelby. They provide an update on their efforts across north central Ohio.
Hunnell is also joined by executive producer Zac Hiser and video producer Grant Ritchey to riff on the latest local news developments, including a recap of the Inkcarceration Music & Tattoo Festival over the weekend.
