Nationwide Closing NE Ohio Operation

Columbus-based Nationwide Insurance plans to close its facility in Highland Hills that serves its non-standard auto-insurance business. The move will eliminate 138 jobs this year. It's part of the company's plan to exit the business of giving coverage to drivers with multiple accidents or tickets or gaps in coverage. The company says the workers will be offered other positions.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
