Jim Krumel: People are busy making spring travel plans, but should they?

That’s not happening though.
More Ohioans are making plans to lock up their houses for a week or two this spring and go somewhere anywhere be there a pandemic or no pandemic.
Cindy Nelson is seeing it play out in Lima, and so is Patrick DeHaan statewide.
Nelson, the manager of Lima AAA, has continually watched people come into the travel service with one thing on their mind, a road trip.
They’re not just talking about taking short jaunts, either.
“We have people looking at driving out to the Grand Canyon, especially if they have kids who are doing remote learning,” she said. “They’re taking advantage of the time to be able to do that.”
Housing project gains support from Lima council
By Josh Ellerbrock - jellerbrock@limanews.com
LIMA The case to spend $500,000 in Community Development Block Grant dollars on supportive family housing gained some backing during Lima City Council’s meeting of the whole Monday night.
Altogether, five councilors voiced support for the spending after seeking more details about the proposed project. Initially categorized as an isolation and quarantine facility, subsequent conversations have since laid out how a dozen social service agencies in the city are hoping to leverage the proposed $500,000 as seed money to create a 14- to 16-unit development to be used to support families in need.

Lima council looks to reverse decision on historic property improvements
LIMA Is a historic look worth stopping investment into downtown?
When it comes to metal siding at 201 E. North St, Lima City Councilors Carla Thompson and Derry Glenn didn’t think so. During a Friday meeting of Thompson’s economic development committee, the two recommended that the initial decision by the city’s Downtown Design Review Board be overturned in favor of the building’s owner Mike Frueh.
Frueh had initially approached the design review board back in October with the hopes of getting approval to update his storage building on North Street with some stonework and tan metal siding, but the board denied his request primarily citing the lack of historic materials.
