[Ohio-talk] Fw: Ohio Lighthouse

[Colleen Roth]

Hi J. W.
It sounds to me like a Sheltered Workshop with Residential Component is the plan.
When I read the email I thought of Clovernook in a bygone era.
I am not trying to be negative but I just do not put much stock in an outfit that promises jobs for 1000 people.
