Ada's latest news

You'll never guess where Ada gets some of the salt on the street in front of your house

Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, February 10, 2015

There is probably a little bit of Morocco on the road in front of your house as a portion of the salt being spread in Ohio this winter comes from that African nation. 

But, no matter where the salt comes from, it's good news that Ada should have an ample supply to spread on roads this winter.
