Yikes. We've only added 30 voters to the rolls in the last 20 years?

Three is too many? Planning Commission, Historic Conservation, City Council And most projects do not have to go through Historic Conservation so its just two.

What's the point of promoting home ownership for folks that can't afford a down payment?

Still working through the pre-development process when I last asked about a month ago.

$15M development at May St. $17M development at McMillan/Wayne St $25M development at McMillan/Concord $29M Park Ave development $40M McMillan Ave Model Group Development

They are not contemplating a garage. They are contemplating workforce housing and that not all residents will have, or want, a vehicle.

Surely Model Group would be the potential buyer or would want to acquire that building with their recent purchase of the Kroger building and land.

Not quite. That building burned down in a massive fire. https://www.fox19.com/2019/10/04/crews-battle-fully-involved-alarm-fire-northside/

Dirt is moving on the Anthem site.

They were not gone. They were moved into place and put together as one big trailer on the south side of the lot. There's also an excavator on the site. I believe the developer closed on their financing on Friday last week. Activity will be picking up and dirt should be getting moved this week.

Is the roundabout at Dana/Clinton Springs a "mini-roundabout"?

From the HCB packet, "The building will have the appearance of a 2-story building but will remain a strictly commercial building designed for an eating and drinking establishment." and "The building is a 2 story building by appearance, as the interior is a 1 story functional space."

No. They didn't start the pre-development meetings with the city until May 2019 and they didn't submit their building permit application until December 2019 (which still hasn't been approved). Would guess a combination of finalizing the plan, getting approval from the neighborhood, lining up funding, and doing environmental remediation all contributed to the delay.

There were about 7 pickup trucks milling about inside the Anthem site today. I'm expecting work to start this month.

This has been revised:

Chili parlor finally coming to OTR. Brand new Cincinnati chili parlor coming to OTR in old Sartre spot

Ozie is a terrible choice. If you can't successfully organize to collect signatures to get on the ballot for school board then I don't want you making policy decisions for the city. PG wont select Alicia if she loses the primary because she'd be a threat to him as a Mayoral candidate. I do expect PG to select a woman and maybe a black woman.

This has zero to do with you suggesting she was buying drugs and how awful of a person you are to even go there.

This is outrageous and you should be ashamed. You have no idea what her circumstances are but jump to drugs? Possibly she was just living above her means? This was almost not worth responding to its so completely out of line.

Oh, now I understand. We absolutely should a build an aquarium.

Did I miss the announcement about an aquarium?

I don't know what concrete plans may mean, but has absolutely been a part of the long term vision from the start. I do think they've mentioned waiting to be sure this one is successful befor breaking ground on the second tower. https://www.bizjournals.com/cincinnati/news/2016/03/10/50m-condo-towers-planned-for-downtown-cincinnati.html

It's a bad idea. 1) It wasn't gifted by Mussolini. 2) It's not a statue OF Mussolini.

The special prosecutor will somehow make this drag out until October 2021.
