The city of Bellefontaine and a local contractor plan to partner to save a more than 100-year-old building from demolition. The old post office, at the corner of West Chillicothe Avenue and South Detroit Street , was built in 1913 and has been vacant and locked up for decades, Bellefontaine Mayor Ben Stahler said.

The port's board signed off on nearly $200 million in real estate- related bond transactions , setting the stage for construction to start within months on a trio of projects.
