Business loan finalized

Mixed Motor Carriers, an auto-transport business begun by Brad and Melissa Lintermoot of Venedocia, was given a $15,000 county loan to help buy a three-car carrier to be used to transport vehicles, including four-wheelers, from one place to another. Here, Van Wert County Commissioner Clair Dudgeon presents a check to the Lintermoots, who brought their son, Bryden, with them to the loan closing. Van Wert City Council President Gary Corcoran, who also chairs the county Revolving Loan Committee, looks on. (Dave Mosier/Van Wert independent)
