Cincinnati, Ohio
Sometimes Cincinnati Biz Courier links are posted. These are mostly paywalled. IF you have a library card then you can view the articles by doing the following steps: - Visit [the library magazine/newspaper](https://chpl.org/magazines-newspapers/) section. - Click on Cincinnati Business Courier there and log in if needed. - For now, manually find the link that was posted here (I will try to figure out a way to auto format links or something so it takes you right to it at some point.)
Fantastic news. I've looked at this thing for years and it being redone is a big link between Fountain Square and the Convention center. Having more retail to connect the square to the Dunnhumby building and beyond is a good thing.
Park and ride locations are available to get downtown- https://www.blinkcincinnati.com/plan-your-visit/free-transit
I gotta be honest- I don't understand why anyone "drives into" the greenspace. For safety reasons alone that makes zero sense to me. The height seems fine to me but then again, I don't live in HP.
But I bet he thinks we can afford that for a new arena huh?
Almost like they could build their own damn stadium right?

>The company would bring between 60 and 200 employees to its Cincinnati headquarters, Barrett said. In addition, a new one will probably appear next year. >Greater Cincinnati will likely add still another Fortune 500 company next year when the list comes out in May or June. GE Aerospace, which became a standalone locally based company in April 2024, would have ranked No. 140 on the 2024 Fortune 500 with $31.8 billion in 2023 revenue had it been a standalone company as of the end of 2023. It will almost certainly show up on next year’s roster.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19984763 > Apologies for not putting a reminder up but Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is back and running through Sunday. Here's a short "review" of how it seems now that it's down at Sawyer Point. > > #### Space > First things first- it feels way, way more open and manageable. Time will tell with bigger crowds that will come this weekend but the initial impression is it feels much better. You can move around, plenty of seating, and they wisely oriented food trucks and booths *away* from each other so the lines don't run into each other like we always had on 5th, etc. > > #### Ambiance > Also tons better. You get the great view of the river right there, the shade of the trees, and no heat coming back at you from asphalt. The Festzelt (main tent) is quite large and has nice attention to detail on the inside. There are a few biergartens spread about and the use of the Serpentine Wall for extra performance space is great. Plenty of beer booths spread about, a decent amount of food options as well. Lastly- the huge flags flying over Sawyer Point are a great touch. > > #### Parking > From what I hear pretty good. Lots of space on Eggleston and you can of course park over in KY if you're on that side to begin with and just walk over the purple people bridge. > > #### Transit and pedestrian > Pretty good overall though not as convenient as 5th or 2nd/3rd. Closest bus stops are probably Govt Square. The streetcar of course drops off at 2nd and that isn't a terrible walk to the west entrance. Biking is accessible with lots of places to lock up (trees or other) or taking a red bike right to the entrance of the purple people bridge (assuming there is an open slot to lock it). Pedestrian access is great as there is no fencing unlike Riverfest so you can approach from any which way. > > #### Cons > Not many that I've seen so far. Time will tell about the ability to handle crowds but the one notable "con" (oddity rather) is that they put all the wares vendors over on the far east side of the fest space. Make sure to go visit them as there is some cool stuff that way.] > > Prost!
- Photos - https://www.wcpo.com/sports/football/bengals/photos-a-look-at-the-renovations-planned-for-paycor-stadium# - Another article- https://www.fox19.com/2024/09/17/live-hamilton-county-commissioners-reveal-1-billion-paycor-stadium-renovation-plan/ Initial reports said 900 million but CBC and Fox19 are both reporting 1.2-1.3 billion so I'm leaning towards that being it.
>Arnold said widening such overpasses is possible, but not in the plans today. >“There is room to do additional width on Fifth Street. Seventh and Eighth have the potential for extra width. It’s about where does it make sense,” he said. “If the city says, ‘We’d like to do this,’ we can find ways to allow for it in the future.” What a load of crap. 4 billion plus but we can't do this? Carries 2+% of GDP but we can't make it so it works for the city?
>On Thursday, the nonprofit Sundance Institute announced the final phase of its Request for Proposal (RFP) process to host the Sundance Film Festival starting in 2027. Cincinnati, as well as Salt Lake City/Park City, Utah, and Boulder, Colorado, were chosen to move forward in this process. The winner will be announced sometime in early 2025, after the 2025 Sundance Film Festival has concluded.
>Next spring, Air Canada will establish a nonstop flight to Montreal, the largest city in the Canadian province of Quebec, starting May 22.

>Council voted unanimously Sept. 6 to designate the area roughly between Liberty Street, Central Parkway, Elm Street and Sycamore Street as the city’s sixth sidewalk vending district.
Editorialized the title a bit because I think the name "Free Parking" is....quite poor. Ranks up there with "The Bar" name of a bar in Reading. >The 2,500-square-foot space is located inside the HaNoBe at Linden Square, a $31 million mixed-use project. >The bar and restaurant is all about the art of board games.

>CHCURC is working to help the existing businesses inside the plaza, including a day care that’s been there for decades. College Hill Plaza tenants also include a Family Dollar and City Gear. A portion of the property had served as the former Cincinnati Police District 5 headquarters.
>“Good for Oakley. In certain neighborhoods the TIF funds are very flush, and they’re in neighborhoods where there’s a lot of development going on. The result itself is self-perpetuating,” Cramerding said. “If we’re not careful, there could be inequities in which neighborhoods have safer streets.”
