Good morning, Mansfield.

Richland County Children Services and Mansfield United Lions Club are collecting Valentine cards for foster youth until Jan.

23. The project welcomes handmade or store-bought cards for children ages 0 to 6, 7 to 12 and 13 to 18 (drop-offs accepted at 731 Scholl Road or by mail).

Oxbow Woods has been seeded for trails and spring blooms (flowers and grasses) that will open to the public later this season.

The West Park Shopping Center on Miracle Mile, once a vibrant retail spot, will begin demolition in mid 2026 to pave the way for a public park + community pool.

Mayor Jodie Perry said local buyers acquired the property to breathe new life into the area.
