Fuyao says Moraine factory not target of Homeland Security, IRS raids
Chinese automotive glass maker Fuyao Glass America reiterated that its Moraine factory was part of an investigation Friday by federal authorities that stopped production for several hours, but is not the target of the probe.
Fuyao said it was told by federal authorities that a third-party employment services company is the focus of the investigation, according to a Shanghai Stock Exchange filing by the company.
“Federal government agents and supporting local law enforcement officers visited Fuyao Glass America, Inc. (”FGA”) as part of an investigation which we believe involves certain FGA contractors. The company intends to cooperate fully with the investigation,” said Lei Shi, Fuyao Glass America community relations manager, in a statement to the Dayton Daily News.

Thousands of prohibited spaces for adult-use marijuana sale already exist in Ohio as city and township leaders enact moratoriums against cannabis sales.
Under adult-use marijuana law, recreational sellers cannot operate within 500 feet of a church, public library, public playground, public park or school. This rule mirrors the law medical dispensaries have been required to follow since 2017.
The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control awarded its first certificates of operation to cannabis growers and processors in July. Pure Ohio Wellness — a grower and processor with a facility in Springfield and medical dispensaries in Dayton and London — was among the few cultivators and processors to receive the state licensing.

A new restaurant serving pizza, subs and more has opened in the former spot of Paisano’s Pizza Pub in Old North Dayton.
Christine Fowler, who owns 201 Tavern with her husband, Shante, said she has always wanted to own her own restaurant/bar. Fowler had been working at the post office for about 12 years when the opportunity to open a restaurant came about. She said she is friends with the Condi family, who previously owned and operated Paisano’s Pizza Pub for more than 50 years. The restaurant had closed in September 2023.
“This isn’t the same place as I like to remind the people, sadly, and it’s not the same menu. The Condi family took all of their recipes with them, which I was completely fine with,” Fowler said. “They closed their chapter and I’m starting mine.”

Beavercreek gas station plan at Grange Hall and Dayton-Xenia stirs more debate
Months after Beavercreek council struck down a gas station plan along U.S. 35, another gas station has been proposed for construction at the northwest corner of Grange Hall Road and Dayton-Xenia Road.
Colorado-based developer United Properties has requested a rezoning of four parcels on behalf of the property owner, located across Grange Hall from Tobias Funeral Home and across Dayton-Xenia from Beavercreek Pizza Dive.
The property, just under two acres, would become a 4,874-square-foot gas station and convenience store. City documents label the project as “Sir Gas Station,” but city officials said the name of the station is not official yet. The four parcels that make up the site currently include the 4,800-square-foot Beavercreek Event Center on the corner, a vacant lot to the west and a 2,100-square-foot house to the north.
