TIPP CITY — For the Tipp City Chamber of Commerce and the Tipp City area, 2022 proved to be a year with incredible growth and resilience, said Executive Director Liz Sonnanstine in her report on the organization’s progress.

SIDNEY — Overall, 2022 was a strong year for Ferguson Construction as they worked their way out of the pandemic slowdown. The unprecedented supply chain delays created unique challenges and opportunities for their team to overcome. In an environment of ever-changing conditions, we were able to collaborate with our clients to develop creative solutions that enabled their vision to move forward. This heightened level of creativity has remained and sparked a wonderful energy within Ferguson. Through it all, they have stayed focused on crafting spaces that enrich lives, enhance workplaces, and celebrate communities.

SIDNEY — President Todd Ratermann reports, “2022 was another great year for our company. The economy has been strong for the construction industry the last several years. Building materials and lead times are slowly returning to what we consider ‘close to normal.’”
