Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth (FBP) recently provided financial assistance to a company striving to help other area businesses meet a specific administrative need.
A total of $28,000 was provided to Southern Ohio Shredding (SOS) in Chillicothe, a locally-owned business providing secure document destruction. Employees answer the call for help by picking up loads of paper and shredding it in their secure location on Bridge Street in Chillicothe.
Owner Ken Shelton said the funds will have an impact on operations and the expansion of their capabilities.
“We really appreciate this and will use every bit of it to expand the business locally,” he said. “Thank you for your generous gift to Southern Ohio Shredding… we are thrilled to have your support. Through your donation, we will be able to accomplish our goals of expansion and growth throughout the Southern Ohio area.”

Now an unlikely solution could be seen at the center of the region s biggest transit hub.
A $2.5 million purchase expected to be approved by the City Council May 25 would set the stage for the expansion of the Asheville Rides Transit center. It is also intended to provide room for a larger mixed-use development to include affordable housing, commercial uses and other public institutional spaces, according to the proposal before the council.
Last year, hundreds of families in the town of Phoenix lost their homes to a wildfire, leaving them in unstable housing conditions without internet access during a pandemic. A nonprofit offered to provide free WiFi spots around town, but most city councilors oppose that plan.
