Here is your Cleveland, Tenn. | Bradley County, Tenn. news on mymix1041.com, sponsored by Toyota of Cleveland:
Nokian Tyres is officially operating around the clock in Dayton, Tennessee, ramping up tire production and boosting the local economy.
A representative with Nokian Tyres said they have experienced some challenges with supplies, but trying to find workers has not been an issue.
In Dayton, the workers are making all season and all weather tires. More people have been driving this past year and they’ve seen the demand grow for their product.
While the global auto industry production is wilting from chip shortages, it doesn’t affect Nokian Tyres directly because they don’t make original equipment tires, they only make replacement tires. Nokian Tyres did run into shipping container challenges and had to get creative, but they’ve long since caught up.
From the Cleveland Daily Banner…
Tim Siniard reports: It’s been long known as the Moore Building, but according to Adam Osborne’s children, it’s their dad’s building.
Osborne, who is a partner with the Chattanooga-based accounting firm, Henderson, Hutcherson & McCullough PLLC, is spearheading the effort to revitalize the 100-year-old, 7,000-square-feet structure, which has stood vacant at the corner of Inman Street and Edwards Street for decades.
Although he described the building as dilapidated, with holes in its roof, as well as a partially collapsed second floor, Osborne expressed how he felt about its significance to downtown Cleveland.
In March, the Cleveland City Council unanimously approved HHM’s $1.5-million renovation plan.
HHM’s revamping of the former drugstore, which at one time was slated for the wrecking ball to make way for a parking lot, will house 15 employees, with expectations to expand the roster to 20.
The accounting firm, founded 40 years ago, has an office in the historic Southern Railroad Freight Building in downtown Chattanooga, which played an early role in that city’s revitalization initiative during the 1980s, when it was the site for several clothing outlets before it was converted into office space for the firm in 2007.
Kaitlin Gebby reports: A technical issue with Tennessee Department of Health data means a reported surge in COVID-19 cases was just a fluke.
On Saturday, data uploaded Friday from the Tennessee Department of Health was used by the Cleveland Daily Banner to write an update on the county’s status of COVID-19 cases. Using data reports at covid19.tn.gov and tn.gov/health, reporters had been tracking a slow uptick in cases within the county, watching cases move from the mid-20s to mid-50s within a few days.
By Saturday, health department data showed a serious spike in cases, moving the needle from around 50 active cases to 208. A front-page news story reported this data point, also noting that other data was missing. It was unclear whether the active-case count was accurate given that other pertinent data, such as new cases and deaths, went unreported by the health department.
Amanda Goodhard, public information officer for the Tennessee Department of Health’s Southeast Regional Office, said a technical issue caused the disparity. She did not offer details on what the problem was, but said the issue that occurred Friday was resolved as of Monday.
