Mount Union breaks ground for business, engineering expansion
Special to The Alliance Review
ALLIANCE – University of Mount Union has begun a 6,200-square-foot expansion to Oak Hall, which houses programs in the Department of Business and School of Engineering.
More than 550 students major in programs in the two schools. An additional 115 students currently pursue minors in a business-related field.
“We are in need of additional space to house our developing programs,” said Dr. Chad Korach, associate professor of mechanical engineering and director of the School of Engineering.
Mount Union received funding from Deuble Foundation, Hoover Foundation, Stark Community Foundation, Timken Foundation of Canton and Mount Union alumni and friends.
But Stevens, a lifelong village resident, witnessed her neighbors becoming wary of the water system as they learned that lead which can pose a significant health hazard had been detected in pipes in several homes. It created this huge distrust inside of the community, she said.
The lead problem came on the heels of the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and erupted into a national story, leading some to question whether Sebring would become Ohio s version of Flint.
Some drinking water fountains were turned off and schools were closed for several days. Children were tested for lead poisoning. Residents opted for bottled water. And the village s water superintendent faced criminal charges for knowing and not notifying residents about the lead issue in a timely manner.
Introduction to Bee City USA
