PAGE 8- SOUTHWEST MESSENGER - <strong>December</strong> 15, <strong>2019</strong> A FACILITY MAINTENANCE COMPANY YOU CAN RELY ON You've got enough people trying to waste your time with products and services you don't really want or need. I'm not one of those people. My name is Tom Pack, president of Ohio Facility Maintenance, and this article -- every word of it -- is about how my company can help your company save more money, maximize your time and increase productivity by capitalizing on your core competencies. According to a 2017 report by International Facility Management Association (IFMA), companies who outsourced the maintenance of their facilities saved an average of 12-18% in operational costs annually. It is almost a no-brainer… Having an in-house team oversee your facility maintenance operations will not only drive up overhead costs but will also serve to distract your human resources from the required high priority tasks. On the other hand, outsourcing your facility maintenance operations will free up your team and their resources to better tend to your company’s core competencies thereby improving efficiency. But your facility maintenance is not something you should outsource to just anybody. You need to put the maintenance of your facility in the hands of a reputable company that consistently delivers top-notch results time after time. And that is where Ohio Facility Maintenance comes in. Ohio Facility Maintenance has over 30-years of full-service facility maintenance experiences. We offer a broad spectrum of facility maintenance services which include building maintenance, conveyor, dock plate maintenance, facility lighting, racking, parking lot maintenance, pest and wildlife control and much more. We have a relentless dedication to excellence, and our priority is enabling our clients to focus more on the big picture and to add value to their own organizations. Give us a call toll free at 833-646-2468, so we can schedule a time to meet for just 30 minutes or less, to discuss how Ohio Facility Maintenance can help you with your projects - big or small.

To continue to do so, the group is requesting help from the city. At the Dec. 2 Grove City Council meeting, members of the Grove City Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, asked council to include the chamber in its 2020 budget. “We are seeking a community development fund to expand events like the Taste of Grove City, Arts in the Alley and the Farmer’s Market,” said Wayne Coakley. According to Coakley, the chamber’s vision is to not only expand its current events, but develop new ones that could showcase the city, its businesses and its residents. “We want to advance business growth and provide higher quality events,” said Coakley. A new event the chamber featured at the <strong>2019</strong> Arts in the Alley was the Voice of Grove City competition. According to Coakley, this singing contest brought in contestants from all over Ohio, not just Grove City and central Ohio. The chamber requested that the city allocate $70,000 for the organization in its 2020 appropriation budget. “There is a lot of growth in Grove City.

Council accepted the funding request and said it would be reviewed. In other news, council approved an ordinance to allow the city’s administration to enter into an agreement with the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for improvements to State Route 104. According to City Administrator Chuck Boso, this project includes 104 resurfacing in areas from Stringtown Road to State Route 665. The state would pay for 80 percent of the project and the city would cover the remaining 20 percent. Boso said the city would pay approximately $42,000 for the improvements. The measure was passed as an emergency. Council also approved a development plan for a subarea in Beulah Park, located south of <strong>Southwest</strong> Boulevard. According to city administration, this subarea would include 52 homes on single lots on the westside portion of the Beulah property. Pat Kelley, with Grove City Beulah Investment, said the single-family residences would appeal to young families. The homes would be near the relocated Brookpark Middle School. “We are very excited about these homes,” said Kelley. Kelley said the homes would range in price from $300,000 to $350,000. around the southwest City Parks and Recreation Department at 614-277-3050.
