I don't see a problem with it. There is many area's in Ohio with agriculture. Check out south east or southern Ohio sometime. They have all the Agicultural land that you would want, if you want to work or live on a farm of course..;)

You mean you goto S Dakota, because it's not happening there. Get it? lol

You know South Dakota would love for that to happen. But we in Ohio keep complaining about sprawl..;) There is pleanty of room to develop all across the usa.;)

Hamilton Township plan upsets some By Jessica Brown Enquirer staff writer HAMILTON TWP. - As trustees in this rapidly growing township move toward approving a land-use plan, a conflict is emerging. More people are complaining that their voices have not been heard and that the proposed plan really isn't what they wanted. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051103/NEWS01/511030339/1056/CINCI

I guess you can add this guy too. Reported by: Lance Barry Web produced by: Neil Relyea Photographed by: Jason Garrison 11/2/2005 11:08:12 PM Hundreds of occupants of a Lincoln Heights housing complex were told Wednesday that their utilities are going might be shut off. That's because Valley View Housing Corporation is hundreds of thousands of dollars behind in payments -- and it has the property manager there facing accusations of financial wrongdoing. With some serious unpaid bills there -- a 70,000 water bill that's late and a $90,000 bill with Cinergy that's late -- 9News went to the complex to find some "answers" -- and went face-to-face with the man surrounded by so many questions. When 9News posed the question to property manager Charles Willis, asking if money had been misappropriated, Willis responded, "No, not at all." When 9News asked, "Nothing wrong?," Willis said, "Nothing at all. I've done nothing wrong." But outside Willis' office, dozens of residents in the Valley Homes housing complex disagree. So strongly that Lincoln Heights police were called in. "Where is the money going?," asked Valley Homes resident Eva Brewster as she spoke into a megaphone, "in his pocket from what I hear!" The accusations revolve around $150,000 in unpaid utility bills that have surfaced since Charles Willis took over as property manager at Valley Homes. So much in fact, that residents are now receiving discontinuation notices from Cinergy effective immediately. Willis vows that not only is there is a logical explanation, but also that no tenant will be left in the dark. "I'm not planning on having that happening," said Willis. "I think we'll have enough funds." Willis says the cash-strapped property came into financial trouble after several of the units were condemned and no longer brought in money. He doesn't refute the fact that some are in sad shape. They include Ricky Finnerson, Sr.'s home, with major ceiling and plumbing issues. Finnerson says Willis can't complain about the condition of homes taking money away from the the group -- because willis does nothing about them. "They keep telling me they are going to get it out there," said Finnerson. "They never do. I go in there and put in work orders, they never do." 9News has learned it may be too late to prevent an outage at the 350 units. The utility bills date back months, with a $70,000 water bill and $90,000 outstanding to Cinergy. As a way to raise money quickly tenants were told of a rent increase -- today. "Twenty-five dollars rent increase," one resident told 9News, "so my rent has gone up from $405 to $430." Also of concern, Willis' mother. As the chair of the board, she is the most powerful member of the part-owned, part-rented property That relationship has also eroded the faith of those who live there in Willis. When 9News asked Willis if he saw this as a conflict of interest, he replied simply, "I don't." Also in question, the sale of a piece of land adjacent to their property. They made $91,000 in profit through its sale. Willis says cash has also been spent in an effort to get the utility bills under control. So, if that is indeed where that money went -- those unpaid bills in the past year actually totaled one-quarter of a million dollars.

Why do they all have to be (publicly financed) all the time. Don't developers have any money themselves anymore.

These are the kind of women you find in the office buildings in blue ash, they are just not showing much skin. ;)

WOW $65 an hour sounds like executive pay.

A tv ad? I think it's more professional to go into these businesses in person.

Before Rt 4 just north of downtown Dayton. There is an entrance ramp that had this sign coming southbound. I'm sure Chris could tell you more about it. It's been a long time since i've been that far north.

Dayton actually has signs that says "wait at this line until the car leaves ramp". That could be a cheaper way.

Anyone know what the status is on this? I have not heard anything since the story broke.

I guess as long as he's paying taxes on them, the city is reluctant to do anything about it.

I would like to know how is that possible. If they have no job? How was the loan approved?

Yeah it is. Right click on it and view as an image, that should make it smaller.

^Confident in Cincinnati? That's a change..lol j/k

Turtlecreak is a big Twp.

It's hideous, at least the outside is. Change that facet of the building ASAP. I can't believe that design was approved. It seems someoen 60+ years old designed That. This is the 2000's not the friggen 60's. I sware it looks like somethiing from the brady bunch. MAybe it looks better at night, but in the daytime ewww.

For any of you that don't know where Turtlecreek Twp it is. It's just east of of I-75 around the Middletown exit.

State weighs downtown light-rail routes By Dan Klepal Enquirer staff writer The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) will pay for a $400,000 study to find the best route for a light-rail track across downtown Cincinnati's riverfront. The light-rail project is part of a $1.4 billion transportation improvement plan for the eastern suburbs in Hamilton and Clermont counties, called the Eastern Corridor Project. A portion of that plan includes so-called light commuter rail, running on existing tracks from Milford to the Montgomery Inn Boathouse restaurant downtown. http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051026/NEWS01/510260406/1056/CINCI

It's a shame that place went down hill so fast. I used to go there a few year back. Here is the cycle. The Covington landing was booming, then Main street started booming. That took a way business form the Landing. Now Newport on the levee is booming and that took away business from Main street. If the banks gets built. That will take away business from NOTL. I guess that's how business works. No one cares who's throat they cut.

NAh i would call it being very, very, very optimistic projection.

Has anyone evermentioned that this is next door to a county jail?

Ok the county grew by 10& from 2000-2004(122,759/136,063). So it's adding about 3.5k a year. How do they figure 640k to be living there in 2030??? http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/39/39045.html

Hmm 500k NEW residents in 25 years? I'm sorry but i don't think Columbus is growing that fast. What's Deleware Counting expecting 800k?
