Portion of Main Street opened
North Main Street was opened Thursday to southbound traffic after protective cement barriers were put in place. The barriers will direct drivers away from the old Grohe building, which could crumble onto the sidewalk and street. The owner, Mark Ramser, is awaiting information from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency on asbestos in the building. Once the level of asbestos is determined, the building will be demolished.
