TCEDC Newsletter – September – Fall Is Here

August for the TCEDC has been productive. As I discussed with Commissioner Abbuhl and Co-director John Kelly on the very first episode of the Valley Podcast, we are inching our way closer and closer to a comprehensive plan to bring broadband internet to every resident in Tuscarawas County. I also had the pleasure of meeting a lot of new faces by attending my first Leadership Tuscarawas event. We participated in the opening of the Reagent Chemical facility in Newcomerstown. And, we have started the process of crafting our strategic objectives. Many leaders in the community have been asked to gather and give feedback on how the TCEDC can be a good partner that supports their objectives from within.

Tuscarawas County Broadband Accelerator Program is in full swing, and we are starting week five. The end result will be a comprehensive plan for the county. Soon we will be asking you to help us with data collection by filling out a short survey for your commercial broadband needs and residential broadband needs. This past week I truly realized the importance of having great speeds and a working computer. My computer crashed at work and now I’m working off my Surface and borrowing everyone’s computer in the office. Broadband is like having electricity or water & sewer.

TCEDC Newsletter - June 2022 - Going Above and Beyond

Alongside our recently promoted Warehouse Foreman, Rob Lax, I have been hunkered down at our distribution center documenting, learning, operating, forklift driving, loading, hiring, and now training every single working day. We’re finding ways to be more thorough, identifying ways to be more efficient, and Rob, I must say has also gone above and beyond the call of duty. He really fits the theme here.

TCEDC Newsletter - May 2022

May in Ohio reminds me of everything becoming green. Yes, I missed green grass, trees, shrubs, etc., during my days in Colorado. Gravel Gertie (bike name) and I rode 32 miles Saturday--love country roads. Another definition of green that applies to workforce green around gills, green candidates, or green and credulous.
