County's $1.8M reimbursement claim against Overmyer developer awaits ruling
More than a year after Lucas County filed a lawsuit attempting to claw back more than $1.8 million in federal funds from the developer that converted an abandoned Warehouse District building into apartments, the two sides await a judge’s ruling on a county motion for an immediate finding in its favor. At the root of the matter is whether a private developer was subject to a county policy requiring everyone working under county contracts to be paid union scale. Developer RKKP 2 admits not having done that but also disputes that it functioned as a county contractor when it redeveloped the former Commerce Paper Co. building at 15 S. Ontario St. as the Overmyer Lofts. The county contends RKKP 2’s factual admission surrenders the case.

Toledo pair go natural with Earthship-style home
Rising housing prices have created anxiety for those entering the home-buying market, but Nic Botek and Monika Perry have taken an alternate route to living in Toledo. Catalyzed by the 2008 housing collapse and the eviction of local man Keith Sadler that involved a police standoff in 2010, Mr. Botek attempted to find community-based solutions for housing. “Everybody needs food and housing,” he said. “So those are the areas we kind of honed in on.” It wasn’t until 2013 that they became familiar with the Earthship model, pioneered by Michael Reynolds in New Mexico.

Looking forward: Norman and Bylsma ready for new season at Toledo Opera
Suzanne Rorick’s decision to retire after a dozen years of running the Toledo Opera Association was easy. “There’s never a good time for an organization or transition, you know, but I came in at a moment that wasn’t an easy transition. And this is so much better,” Rorick said in an earlier interview. “It is a very, very timely moment for me to do this.” It was an even easier decision about who would take over the TOA, which has been bringing professional-level opera to the area since Lester Freedman founded the company in 1959. The reins were handed to two people who have called the Toledo Opera home, off and on, for decades: co-artistic directors James Norman and Kevin Bylsma, who, as industry professionals bring 45 years of combined experience with the company, said Rachael Cammarn, TOA director of marketing and communication, in an earlier interview.
