On September 26 ground was broken on the Bluffton Soccer Complex to be developed on land donated by and adjacent to SumiRiko Ohio on Snider Rd near the Bluffton Community Pool and Bluffton YMCA.
On September 17 the Bluffton Lions and the Village of Bluffton held a ceremony dedicating the addition of a bike and pedestrian pathway along Jefferson St./State Route 103 from County Line Road to I-75, following close on the heels of a September 3 dedication of the new County Line pathway.
The S.R. 103 Lions Way segment improves access to housing, a hotel, restaurants, gas stations, shops and other businesses along this stretch of road. This is the busiest and fastest section of road in the Village. Some 20 businesses are located on or near the new pathway.

The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce is encouraging businesses to decorate the Bluffton downtown area with a scarecrow theme beginning the first week of October. The powerful color punch of petunias in pots and on lamp posts vanish at the end of September and provides a new opportunity for the community to decorate.
