Trucking company opens new Ohio location through use of state tax credit

AAA Cooper Transportation is opening a new location in Ohio through the use of a state tax credit aimed at companies that create jobs in the region.

The trucking company is planning a new location in Richfield, Ohio that will create 210 full-time positions and bring in $14.7 million in new annual payroll.

According to Akron Beacon Journal, AAA Cooper Transportation is using the Ohio Tax Credit Authority to open the facility. The company has been granted a 1.668% Job Creation Tax Credit, which was approved in early March.

AAA Cooper will move onto a former Estes property, while Estes moves onto a former Yellow Freight property. Both properties are along Brecksville Road.

Richfield Mayor Michael Wheeler calls the expanding business “an absolute positive” for the area.

“AAA Cooper is a good company,” he said. “We are a huge hub for shipping. Trucking has really increased, especially with COVID.”

Ohio EPA funding emergency generator projects to keep water moving

The Ohio EPA is spending more than $77,000 to help keep drinking water reliable for residents along the U.S. 30 corridor.

Those funds will complete four upgrades throughout Richland, Crawford and Ashland counties, the agency announced.

Water-system allocations include: $33,000 for the village of Crestline, $23,163 for Hidden Acres Mobile Home Park near Ashland, $11,506 for an Aqua Ohio project in Mansfield and $9,500 for Colonial Hills Mobile Home Park in Mansfield.

The four projects in North Central Ohio focus on emergency generators.

“Ohio EPA prioritized emergency generator projects to help water systems maintain service and protect the water supply during power outages,” the agency noted. “The grants will reimburse systems for the initial costs of generators and necessary accessories.”

Statewide, 38 water systems were awarded $1.28 million for emergency generators.

So far this year, Ohio EPA has awarded more than $2.8 million to 122 public water systems in 58 counties for improvements.

Those grants are funded through the U.S. EPA’s Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Capitalization Grants, designed to help public water systems maintain a continuous supply of safe drinking water, strengthen the protection of the water source, properly close inactive wells and invest in emergency generators.

“Being able to offer this funding to more than 120 water systems across the state is the definition of a win-win,” Ohio EPA Director John Logue said. “It helps these systems to have the capability of enhancing what they do and how they do it at no extra cost to them — but, more importantly, it helps Ohio families have access to more reliable, safer, healthier drinking water.”

Ohio State basketball starting forward plans to enter transfer portal

Ohio State basketball starting forward plans to enter transfer portal

The most recent basketball season might be over for Ohio State, but in the modern era of college basketball, what happens off the court is almost just as chaotic as what happens on it. The main culprit for this is the transfer portal, and on Sunday, Ohio State’s offseason seems to have gained some traction.

According to a report, Ohio State forward Devin Royal plans to enter the transfer portal after three seasons with the Buckeyes, perhaps ending a career that began with high expectations and finished with a strong junior season. The 6-foot-6, 230-pound Pickerington Central product leaves with one season of eligibility remaining after appearing in 96 of 102 games at Ohio State.

Royal arrived in Columbus as a consensus four-star recruit and Ohio’s Mr. Basketball in 2023, becoming the 12th player in Ohio State basketball history to earn that honor. At Pickerington Central, he helped lead the program to a state title-game appearance in each of his final two seasons and earned first-team All-Ohio recognition as a junior and senior.

As a freshman in 2023-24, Royal played in 33 of 36 games and averaged 4.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, emerging as more of a threat as the season progressed. He had a nice sophomore leap, starting 27 games and averaging 13.7 points and a team-best 6.9 rebounds per game while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor. Royal delivered a breakout season with six 20-point games, three double-doubles, and a career-high 31 points and 15 rebounds against Valpo. He followed that with another solid season in 2025-26, starting all 32 games he played and averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game.

Royal’s potential departure is a significant roster move because he developed into one of Ohio State’s most reliable interior scorers and rebounders. Ohio State finished No. 8 in the Big Ten this season, with a record of 21-13 and 12-8 within the conference. However, with the arrival of 5-star forward Anthony Thompson, his starting spot would seem to be very much in jeopardy.

For the Buckeyes, it may close the book on a homegrown player who went from top in-state recruit to everyday starter in three years. As of now, there aren’t any suitors known, but as all of this becomes more official, we’ll bring you further news.
