It has been 18 years in the making, but this morning in session, the Commissioners approved the sale of what’s known as “the real property located at 800 Cheshire Road, Delaware.” We all know it better as @sourcepoint, Delaware County’s center for “adults 55 and better!” As part of helping SourcePoint build its center and giving it the financial leeway to grow its funding and financial reserves, the Commissioners in 2007 approved an agreement whereby they owned the site and leased it to the SourcePoint organization, but with the provision that SourcePoint would be able to purchase it all someday. That day is today and, together with SourcePoint, we celebrate the community support and sound fiscal stewardship that has made this transfer of ownership possible.
Delaware County has again been recognized for outstanding financial reporting for the fiscal year that ended in 2024! Today in session, Delaware County Auditor George Kaitsa and his team accepted the Ohio Auditor of State Award with Distinction from Scott Brown, our regional liaison from Ohio Auditor Keith Faber’s office. This award recognizes a level of clean and accountable financial reporting achieved by only the top 4% of governmental entities audited by the state. Delaware County has a lengthy track record of receiving this award, which is a testament to the hard work of county staff who make every effort each day to attain accounting excellence.
Happy Thanksgiving! Many county offices are closed today (Nov. 27) and tomorrow (Nov. 28). We will resume normal business hours and operations on Monday.
Many county offices will be closed on Thursday, November 27, and Friday, November 28, in observance of Thanksgiving.
