Congressman Jordan visits community leaders, tours remodeled Bluffton Hospital

Fourth District Congressman Jim Jordan visited Bluffton on Tuesday and met informally with a dozen Bluffton officials.

Termed jokingly as a "square-table" discuss as opposed to a round-table discussion - simply because of the shape of the tables - the one-hour session included informing the congressman on village updates from school, industry, university and village officials.

The visit was coordinated by Bluffton Mayor Eric Fulcomer. Following the discussion, Jordan toured the remodeled Bluffton Hospital.
