awaters+FollowCentral Ohio’s sheep cheese era wraps upKokoborrego Cheese, Central Ohio’s only sheep milk cheese producer, is closing after 15 years—another local gem lost to economic uncertainty. For those who’ve enjoyed their unique cheeses at the Worthington and Clintonville farmers markets, there’s still a little time left to stock up before they’re gone for good. What’s especially heartening: the owners are donating hundreds of pounds of their aged cheese to the Mid-Ohio Food Collective, turning a tough ending into a community win. How do you feel about small food producers disappearing? What’s your favorite local food you’d hate to lose? #Business #Industry #CentralOhio00Share
fnixon+FollowCentral Ohio’s steel industry just leveled upWorthington Steel is making a $2.4 billion move that keeps its global headquarters—and decision-making power—right here in Central Ohio. By acquiring Germany’s Kloeckner & Co, Worthington isn’t just growing; it’s tripling its revenue and becoming the second-largest steel service center in North America. What’s exciting for our neighborhoods? This kind of growth means more high-wage jobs, stronger demand for local services, and a healthier tax base for schools and community projects. It’s not just about new companies moving in—our own homegrown businesses are stepping onto the world stage. How do you think this will shape our community’s future? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CentralOhio00Share
