“The community of Washington Court House is thrilled with a retail tenant for the PennMark property on Columbus Ave. Successful repurposing of former big box retail locations is never easy and requires an owner with vision and a local community willing to work with the property owner. In our case, Washington Court House and PennMark were a great fit.” – Joe Denen City Manager Washington Courthouse, Ohio
