Although the business climate in America has been cloudy, almost stormy, since the millennium, business in Ada shown bright in 2015.

Deb Curlis, president of the Ada Area Chamber of Commerce, reports these major advances during the past year:

* Construction began on the $6 million Vancrest Nursing Home on SR 81.

* St. Rita's broke ground for a $1 million health facility near the nursing home.

*Not technically a business, but another major construction project underway in the Village is the $16 million water treatment plant.

All three of these sizeable projects will be completed in 2016.

No, school is not in session. The Icon glanced over Katey Stuart's shoulder in mid-December in an Ada HS art class as she worked on a current painting project. We wanted to share this photo with viewers before the new year.

Farewell, 2015.

Certainly a year to remember. The Icon took hundreds of photos in the past 365 or so days.

We’ve chosen one from each  month to represent the year that’s quickly fading. Some of photos are news worthy. Others are simply fun.

We hope these 12 paint a picture representing of life in 2015 in a small northwestern Ohio town named Ada.

Take a close look. You might find yourself here.

Enjoy them.
