ATCO transition pushes clients to private providers in Athens County
ATCO closes and the Athens County Board of Developmental Disabilities must shift funding to private providers by 2024 under a new federal law. Sech Kar, privately funded and unaffiliated with the DD board, may serve the 32 full-time ATCO clients in Nelsonville through its Doanville and Elm Rock programs. Program director David Herold describes arts and crafts, afternoon activities, therapy dog time, and life skills training as core offerings, with caregiver Sycks aiming to expand services including a rabbit rescue and a rabbit socialization room.

Charter ruling shields Athens County from ballot measure
The Athens County elections board found the petition signatures sufficient but the proposed charter invalid. Board member Aundrea Carpenter-Colvin said the decision was based on legal standards, not opinions on fracking. The Bill of Rights Committee may protest to seek court review, with potential funding talks ongoing with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund.
