Jay County Country Living director Stacey Johnson reported Wednesday that the final residents still living at the facility are slated to move out in the next two weeks. The moves will facilitate the closure of the site formerly known as Jay County Retirement Center. This summer, Jay County Commissioners voted 2-1 to close the facility with a target date of Dec. 31, 2026. It is now expected to be closed by the end of this year. (The Commercial Review/Ray Cooney)
