The recent closing of Keller's IGA in Clifton has sent shockwaves through the community. While the owners thought they would be re-opened in short order, that has not happened. Owners claim they had agreements with state tax & AG offices. Those posts changed on January 10th, however. Who knows where IGA stands now?
Being an anchor store for that business district, the closing will likely have a detrimental effect on nearby businesses. As Ohio needs every tax dollar they can get, this action is about like cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. If the other stores' sales decline, the state will get less & less revenue.
Perhaps a better plan would be for the state to keep the store open, maybe force it to go for bankruptcy & continue to collect taxes & maintain the quality of life in the neighborhood.

NOTE - When I went looking for an IGA logo to post at the top, I had no idea I would find so many pictures of naked ladies named Iga.
sheesh
