Paulding County Economic Development Press Release – June 12th, 2024
PAULDING – The Paulding County Land Reutilization Committee met in June to share information and receive updates about many completing and some new projects.
Several positive comments have been expressed to the committee in regard to a site recently remediated in the Village of Payne. The property, located just on the south edge of the village along Highway 49 at the Flat Rock Creek bridge, was purchased by the Land Bank committee last winter. The committee was able to contract with Dangler Excavating and had several old semi-trailers, a structure and some other trash removed prior to grading and seeding the lot. The noticeably clean property was then sold to the commercial building owner next door.
Paulding County Treasurer, and Land Bank Committee President Lou Ann Wannemacher, shared that the Land Bank has finalized purchase of the trailer court located at 802 N. Main Street in Paulding. The purchase from S&N Partnership,LLC will allow for some very aged mobile homes to be removed and remediation of the property to make room for future development. This trailer court had a fire last winter in which three residents lost their lives.
Another property purchase that has local attention is the former Faith Alive Church building located at 220 N. Williams Street in Paulding. This building will be removed to make way for the new Paulding Veterans of Foreign Wars Memorial. There has been much inquiry about some of the stain glass windows, pews and other memorabilia inside the building. The committee is working with local auctioneer Larry Gorrell to have an online auction in the future for purchase of the items. More information will be shared about the auction dates as this project develops.
Matt Wagner, with EPA consultant Tetra Tech, shared information about the final clean-up procedures at the former Liberty Fuel Station, that was located in front of the former Varner’s Trailer Court on the east side of Antwerp. A final soil test is being procured. A low contamination reading will allow the sale of the property. Wagner also reported the Stokely and Grizzley remediation projects are still on hold awaiting Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) approvals of the remediation application.
Turning to residential and commercial building blight, Estee Blair, local land bank consultant with Maumee Valley Planning Organization, asked the committee for review and approval of a grading template that would provide her office a systematic process to determine awarded demolition contractors for future projects. Following questions and discussion, the committee approved the template as presented. Blair also noted that there still has been no response to the 47 projects submitted to ODOD for Paulding County remediation.
In final discussion of the full agenda meeting, the Land Bank committee had the opportunity to acquire two parcels in the unincorporated Village of Mandale, located in the county’s southeast corner. The parcels were not purchased in a recent foreclosure auction. The committee agreed to accept the parcels to try and remediate them and contribute to a positive change in the area.

CHARLOE – The Charloe Sno-Cone, located at 10768 Rd 171, has recently changed ownership. Daniel and Dimare Dunlap have purchased the building and business and hope to grow the business. They have also named Cannina Lewis as the Operations Manager for the facility.
The business had a soft opening over Easter weekend. The goal for the future business schedule is to be open seven days a week ASAP along with adding a morning shift for coffee and pastries. Current hours are Thursday thru Sunday from 11 am-8 pm. There will be additional days slowly added with the intention of being open seven days a week by peak boating season. The new owners intend to stay open year-round and utilize the indoor seating, likely shutting down the soft serve ice cream operation in the off-season, but keeping the hard dip flavors and full-service kitchen options available.
The Sno-Cone will offer a full food menu this year and pretty much every ice cream you could imagine, including hard dip, soft serve, slushes, and bringing back the actual Sno-Cone!
Dunlap grew up in the area of the Auglaize River. His background is in real estate investing and construction. He is also the owner of Four County Home Inspections, Code 3 Properties, LLC, and Flat Rock Real Estate Corporation. He was previously an EMT, paramedic, and firefighter. Once he married Dimare, they chose to live on the river and enjoy it all the time. Dan stated, “I grew up as a kid eating at the Sno-Cone on weekends and enjoying the delicious ice cream. Now we have the privilege of owning the establishment and sharing it with others.”
In connecting with the history of the business, the Dinmares brought back the original signage with the Native American logo. This sign was painted by a local artist to represent the history of the unincorporated village, which was named after Chief Charloe Peter in 1839.
In developing into the future, the Dunlap’s hope to bring pizza to the menu and obtaining a liquor license for the sale of beer and wine, along with wine slushes and other refreshments. They are currently repairing the large deck looking over the river. It should be open soon. They are also adding three brand new docks in the water to accommodate passing boaters who would like to visit from the river.
The menu options and pricing have changed to better serve the community. The end goal is to provide the best service at the best pricing. This decision is supported by stopping the automatic tips added to orders. This will allow customers to tip at their own discretion. You can call the business for more information at 419-594-3594 or find the business on Facebook or order online at charloesnocone.com
If you would like to enjoy some savory deliciousness from the Charloe Sno-Cone and experience a beautiful river view, support local and give the new team a try.

PAULDING, OH – Holistic Wizard Wellness, LLC, a new business started by Joel Fields, a licensed massage therapist with over eight years of experience, officially opened its doors on January 2, 2024. Located at 12705 Road 162 in Paulding, Ohio, Holistic Wizard Wellness offers therapeutic massage services aimed at providing deep relaxation and relief for individuals facing symptoms of job stress, burnout, anxiety, and chronic pain.
Joel’s journey of holistic wellness began with his extensive experience in different office settings, including a chiropractic office in Van Wert and a four-year stint at Parkview Health in Fort Wayne. His passion for holistic healing led him to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Science and Holistic Health from Northern Vermont University in 2022. With a specialization in working with individuals experiencing stress-related symptoms, Joel has mastered his skills in therapeutic massage and craniosacral therapy to offer gentle yet effective treatments for his clients.
The inspiration behind
Holistic Wizard Wellness came from Joel’s involvement in the “Holistic Response Team” at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, where he witnessed firsthand the toll that stress and burnout can take on healthcare workers. Motivated to provide relief outside of the corporate environment, Joel established Holistic Wizard Wellness to cater not only to healthcare professionals but also to business professionals and locals in and near Paulding County.
Holistic Wizard Wellness offers customized therapeutic massages ranging from 30 to 90 minutes, as well as craniosacral therapy, known for its effectiveness in alleviating migraines, fibromyalgia, and stress. Additionally, the business provides organic CBD products and access to high-quality supplements through Fullscript, an online supplement store.
For Joel Fields, owning Holistic Wizard Wellness is a fulfillment of his passion for holistic healing and serving his community. “Massage has had a positive effect on every medical condition we’ve looked at,” says Tiffany Field, Ph.D., Director of the Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami.
Clients can schedule appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 AM to 7 PM at Field’s home office just north of Stykemain Chevrolet in Paulding.
