This morning, Adam Gillmor and Bryce Riggs from our team joined Jessica Sattler with the Regional Growth Partnership Northwest Ohio for a Business Retention & Expansion visit with Church & Dwight Co. in Old Fort. We met with Plant Manager David Johnston to get an update on the company's operations, current investments, workforce needs, and opportunities for continued growth in Seneca County.

Church & Dwight has been part of the Seneca County manufacturing community since 1980. While many know the company for ARM & HAMMER baking soda, the Old Fort operation has grown significantly over the years and today supports a wide range of consumer and commercial products, including cat litter, household products, and baking soda used in food, pharmaceutical, medical, and other applications.

One of the biggest topics this morning was the company's latest expansion, the $28 million unit dose detergent power paks project announced last year. Construction and equipment installation are now underway on a second production line, with production expected to begin in 2027.

We also discussed workforce development and training, future investment opportunities, and how our local, regional, and state economic development partners can continue supporting the facility.

Thank you to David and the Church & Dwight team for welcoming us this morning and for continuing to invest, grow, and create opportunities right here in Seneca County!

Welcome new member, Mohawk Local Schools!

Mohawk Local Schools has been educating students in the community since 1958, when the district was formed through the consolidation of schools in Melmore, Sycamore, and McCutchenville. Today, Mohawk serves 880 students from preschool through 12th grade, providing an educational experience designed to prepare students for the larger world, both locally and globally.

Guided by the vision, “Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Challenges,” Mohawk is focused on giving students a strong foundation they can carry with them beyond the classroom. The district’s Portrait of a Warrior centers around five pillars: Communication, Critical Thinking, Financial Literacy, Perseverance, and Responsibility. By developing and applying these skills throughout their education, students are better prepared for life after high school, whether they choose to enter the workforce, serve in the military, or attend college.

Students at Mohawk have access to a wide variety of opportunities throughout their PK-12 education, including OHSAA sports, fine arts, agriculture, career tech education, and College Credit Plus opportunities. From their earliest years through graduation, the district works to support students as they learn, grow, and prepare for what comes next.
