The transformation of Chillicothe's Yoctangee Park continues. Here's a look from April 1st, 2026. Funding for the project came from the State of Ohio as part of the Appalachian Community Grant Program. The work is expected to be completed in late 2026. From chillicotheoh.gov: “This grant is truly a once in a generation opportunity for our community and completes the vision for the park that was set forth in the Yoctangee Park master plan and the recently completed Choose Chillicothe Comprehensive plan. The construction of an amphitheater and the renovation and reinvention of the Armory will make it a destination that matches the scale and importance of our UNESCO World Heritage designation. Residents and park patrons will also enjoy a more diverse range of recreational opportunities and a safer park.” said Mayor Luke Feeney. “The award will stimulate economic development, increase tourism, create jobs and strengthen community pride for years to come.” The City of Chillicothe will receive $35 million towards renovations and new construction projects throughout and surrounding Yoctangee Park. Projects include the construction of a destination amphitheater and complete restoration and expansion of the Chillicothe Armory creating a facility that can serve as a welcome center for those visiting from around the world. The grant also includes funding to permanently locate the Chillicothe Farmer’s Market to the park and upgrade the gateways and streets surrounding the park and downtown. Among the other recipients named yesterday, the Mighty Children’s Museum will receive funds to renovate and expand the museum to add STEM related programming.

Last April, workers of the Pixelle Specialty Solutions paper mill were learning of the planned shutdown of the 215-year-old mill. On Good Friday of 2025, Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno was one of several government officials who led a rally for mill workers, announcing H.I.G. Capital, which had purchased the mill in 2022, would delay the shutdown. The delay allowed elected officials to design what would be considered a Plan B. The news of the delay gave new hope that the mill might survive. However, that hope was dashed when the plant closed its doors four months later. Nearly 900 workers were impacted and about 600 were losing much of their defined pensions, some by as much as 50% according to Timothy Jenkins, former Vice President of the United Steel Workers Local 731. An agreement was reached with H.I.G. Capital on a pledge of $5.5-million to be paid to those paper mill workers. Moreno was in Chillicothe to announce the first installment of $1-million has been made. Moreno announced 569 workers will receive a check for an average of just under $2,000. “I want to thank the Foundation for Appalachia for their hard work” said Moreno. “They were the one community organization that stepped up and said ‘We’re gonna figure out how to do this.’ The million dollars is in their bank account.” Recipients will receive a letter in the mail with a W9 form. Once the paperwork is filled out and returned, checks will be delivered. “Once the foundation gets that back, they’ll process a check” said Moreno. “Thanks to the Working Families Tax Cut Bill that we (Congress) passed last year, that will be completely tax-free.” Follow Litter Media on: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LitterMedia/ X (formerly Twitter): https://twitter.com/litter_media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/littermedia/ #LitterMediaLIVE #littermedia.com #Dan&Mike Have a story suggestion?
