A-Tech long term partner with the Ashtabula Home and Family Show
ASHTABULA TOWNSHIP — A lengthy partnership between the Ashtabula Home and Family Show and A-Tech is scheduled to continue this weekend. 'We partner with the Home Show each year by setting up a booth to share the many opportunities we have for Ashtabula County residents,' A-Tech Superintendent Scott Wludyga said. 'Whether it is high school [students], or adult students looking to expand opportunities in a career technical program, or opportunities for businesses to partner with us, we want the community to know.' He said enrollment is already underway for the school's adult programs, and this is a great time for people to learn about the skills they can gain and potential funding resources to help with tuition. 'We also have our Youth Opportunities program, through the partnership with Ashtabula County Job and Family Services and the area 199 Workforce Board that serves hundreds of youth in the county,' Wludyga said. 'We often make connections with families and businesses at the Home Show for all of our programs.' He said the partnership has been in place for decades. The show also provides a unique benefit to students. 'This event helps us show the community how students can gain a competitive advantage for the future,' Wludyga said. 'There are so many opportunities in Ashtabula County right now, and with the technical skills our students gain, they will be on a path to success.' Wludyga said the show is important for the county. 'The Home Show brings together a variety of things that highlight our community, and we are glad to be a part of it,' he said. The school is gearing up for a big celebration this fall, when a new building is opened that will house criminal justice, firefighter/emergency medical technician, and advanced manufacturing labs, Wludyga said. 'We'll be hosting an open house sometime in August, and we want to invite every resident of Ashtabula County to see it,' Wludyga said. 'Our high school and adult students are gaining skills that will help them expand their opportunities for the future, and, in turn, help Ashtabula County grow.'

2025 starts strong for development in Sioux Falls
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – The City of Sioux Falls ended 2024 by surpassing over a billion dollars in construction valuations for the fourth year in a row. And even though we're only one quarter into 2025, it looks as though the City might continue that trend. 'Last year we were at about $160 million after the first quarter and we're ending this quarter at $229 million so that's quite a significant bump from last year,' Chief Building Official Neil King said. King says the big growth is coming from the commercial side with high-dollar projects like CJ Foods and Silencer Central. There's also the big addition at the Avera Campus that's coming in at over $31 million. Woman beaten and robbed near Sunshine Foods 'Kind of an odd thing for this quarter is commercial additions and remodels are, those have taken a significant jump in the past,' King said. 'They're actually leading and usually they're behind the new commercial and new construction but they're actually leading in the quarter one, so that's kind of an anomaly there.' As for the residential side of development, those numbers are down but King says it's common to see that when commercial projects are up. 'And it is the winter. Nobody likes building a house in the winter,' King said. 'People start getting excited in the Spring after the Parade of Homes and the Home Show. So I definitely expect the residential to jump up in the summer and the Fall is usually where we see a big jump for residential too.' King believes the city will easily have another billion-dollar year. 'It's exciting, you know, because it just shows we're still the Midwest and Sioux Falls,' King said. 'We're a good community, we work with people, people want to come here and invest in the city of Sioux Falls. It's exciting. We're going to keep growing, I think.' King says there are currently 821 single family homes under construction and over 2 thousand apartment units. Another big commercial project is the new building for the Sioux Falls City and Light Division, which is expected to break ground this Spring.
