CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The Scioto Valley Forward Workforce Hub will relocate its services to the OhioMeansJobs Center at the Ross County Service Center starting Sept. 30, officials announced Tuesday.
The Workforce Hub, previously housed in the annex of the Chillicothe & Ross County Public Library’s main branch on South Paint Street, has served over 1,100 visitors since opening June 11, 2025.
“We greatly appreciate the hospitality we’ve been shown since we began the operation on June 11,” said Rick Reynolds, program administrator at South Central Ohio Job and Family Services. “The library staff has been very receptive and helpful throughout our time here.”
Workforce Hub staff will operate at the current location through Monday, Sept. 29, before completing the transition to the OhioMeansJobs Center, located at 475 Western Ave., Suite B. The center is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The move follows a recent decline in visits to the Workforce Hub. Displaced workers can continue accessing services at the OhioMeansJobs Center.
Reynolds expressed gratitude to Library Director James Hill and Communications and Marketing Director Courtney Lewis for providing the annex space and their support in assisting workers.
