"Our objective with these public meetings is to join our partners and provide up-to-date information on the D&D project so the public can be informed," PPPO Portsmouth Site Lead Joel Bradburne said.

Bradburne and contractor Fluor-BWXT Portsmouth (FBP) Project Manager Dennis Carr discussed progress, including:
- Advancements toward demolition-ready state for the first of three massive uranium process buildings with deactivation of the second building underway;
- Timing these future demolitions with the ongoing construction of the On-Site Waste Disposal Facility that will hold some demolition debris and whose site preparation, infrastructure construction and utilities installation are largely completed; and
- Near completion of waste shipping and right-sizing of key infrastructure while recovering some costs and supporting local economic development through recycling.
Bradburne and Carr also discussed efforts to establish land transfers through SODI.
EM is accepting comments on the draft environmental assessment for conveyance of real property at the site. To review the assessment, click

Carlton Cave, a SSAB co-vice chair, said the exchange with the public was beneficial.
"The speakers were just fantastic and very knowledgeable about their jobs," Cave said. "I think we're making good headway in getting good information out to the general public."

Saturday, March 11
The Scioto Society, producers of the Outdoor Drama Tecumseh! are extremely excited to announce their third annual spring fundraiser, CEAD MILE FAILTE, on March 11th at St. Peters Hall in Downtown Chillicothe. The event is sponsored by Huntington Bank.
"In Just two years, this event has become one of the signature social events in Chillicothe. We had set out to put on a fundraiser that was fun, different, casual and most importantly not stuffy. The sold out crowd told us we did it all right and to please do it again. Jan Nusbaum is again serving as our event chair and everyone in town knows what a great party Jan throws. So, we are changing up some things to keep it fresh but I predict this will once again be the party that Chillicothe talks about for the next 12 months. Sure, we'll have all the normal fundraiser stuff including a silent auction with a fantastic collection of items. But it's going to be a big night. The Drowsy Lads are the hottest young Irish band in Ohio and they showed us last year how much fun they are on stage. We're thrilled they're returning" Said Brandon Smith, CEO of the Scioto Society.

The event will be held in the stunningly renovated St. Peters Hall and offer a glimpse into a historic building that many people may not have had the opportunity to see. Several local caterers will provide the food including. Sara Myers of High Five Cakes will again be creating a showpiece of a cake for the event.
"Her creation was the most talked about bakery item in Ross County the past two years and I have no doubt she'll outdo herself yet again. There's some surprises still in store. But I can tell you this...the event is going to sell out again, it will be the party of the year again and do I don't recommend waiting to get a ticket" said Smith.
