Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 12th of August.
Good morning, Grants Pass.
🏘️ Community
A collaborative pilot program by SOELS, CCRN, and RCC SBDC has launched Sugar Pine Schoolhouse and expanded another child care provider to ease the county's shortage.
Providers receive hands-on training, licensing help, and funding (covering equipment, furniture, and educational materials) and must begin serving families within 45 days (a licensing requirement) after licensure.
🎭 Culture
Downtown Grants Pass is hosting the second annual Loop Festival at The Hivve from August 11 to 14 where young local and traveling artists present original plays and musicals with live audience feedback.
The festival culminates August 14 with staged readings of In BeTween at 1:30 p.m. - My Tree at 4:00 p.m. - and Good Knight Cyberella at 7:00 p.m.
📰 Economy
Residents in Grants Pass face a tough decision—rideshare services are less reliable in rural areas while owning a car means paying for insurance, repairs, and fuel even when rides seem cheaper.
Comparing monthly costs is key since occasional rides may cut expenses, but daily commutes or trips outside town can quickly add up.
