    Thanks to Galion City Manager Gene Toy, we are able to share some additional insight into the arrival of MedFlight at Galion Municipal Airport.

    On February 15, we shared coverage of Galion City Council’s first meeting of the month, including the following:

    “The other ordinance authorized Toy to act as the City’s agent in seeking approval from the Richland County Commissioners to annex the house at the Galion Municipal Airport into the City. If approved in Mansfield, the 15-20 jobs created at the new MedFlight operation will contribute to the City’s income tax base.”

    This bit of news generated the following reaction by a commenter on GalionLive, calling him or herself, “guest”:

    “Was informed this morning that Medflight now has a base in Morrow county.What happened ?”

    Although GalionLive is fiercely supportive of Galion business, we also recognize that on occasion Galionites like to travel for shopping and dining experiences.

    Roosters is a local restaurant chain with 26 current locations mainly in and around Columbus.  The chain also has locations in Dayton, Cincinnati, Chillicothe, Lexington, … Read the rest
