New business coming to Somerset

Somerset has a new family that has moved into town, Sean and Victoria Johnson.

Radabaugh Construction has sold lot 5 on Shopping Center Road and it closed on March 10. The purchaser is Thomas Coath, who along with his son are operating an electronic business that manufactures controls for water treatment plants. The company is Integrity Control and Automation. Huntington and Bluffton are using their services. A new roof that is not flat will soon be installed and some of the buildings could be available for sale or rent, perhaps a restaurant. The Fire Station is getting a new fire truck, a 2011 Dodge, that is coming from the Wabash Fire Department. It is being provided by the Converse Volunteer Fire Department, as we are a branch station. The sign was refinished last year. Soon we will be asking residents to help paint and install gaskets on the bottom of the doors. A new town sign is also in the works. The Super Store is undergoing some remodeling and still remains for sale. We often talk about the size of our zip code. A search revealed that we are located on a .23 sq. mile plot or 640 acres but the population is said to be 26 up to 220. Thanks to all who drop off aluminum and steel for recycling. Last month we took in 96 pounds of aluminum cans and received $48.
