Cintas made the F500 for the first time. • Kroger at No. 17 with $122.7 billion • Procter & Gamble at No. 42 with $66.2 billion • Macy’s at No. 120 with $24.8 billion • Fifth Third at No. 366 with $7.7 billion • American Financial Group at No. 413 with $6.9 billion • AK Steel at No. 461 with $6.1 billion • Western & Southern Financial at No. 476 with $5.8 billion • Cincinnati Financial at No. 484 with $5.7 billion • Cintas at No. 500 with $5.4 billion https://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2018/05/21/cintas-makes-fortune-500-cincinnati-keeps-eight-total/627982002/

"As has been highly publicized in the past, the new four-lane, limited-access freeway is the first-ever public/private road enterprise in Ohio. Fuller said had the state decided to build the $634 million project on its own, it most likely would have been built in phases stretching over 15 to 25 years. The unique funding mechanism used cut that time to three-and-a-half years." Is this going to be towed? Or the state has been duked of 200+ million to get it done earlier???

^ Sept 2018?? Ok.

Hamilton county beat Warren???

Cincy sports for you. The game ended on a 32-8 run.

For Ohio to grow again they need to gain hispanics. Look at all the high growth metro's in the south. The one thing they have incommon is the increasing hispanic population. Ignore the Richard K. Jones of this state and come to Ohio. There is jobs to be filled.

This is just the dumbest franchise.

Cheaper than spending 400 Million for a bridge.

I'm sorry, but the ranking is inflated. They have not beat a top 25 team.

Are they putting in that 14 story building in Erlanger on the old showcase cinema site? They have clear the whole area. I remember a mid rise was going there about an decade ago.

It's too bad we can not work this fast. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5297201/amp/1-500-Chinese-workers-build-railway-nine-hours.html

I still think they need a metro of a certain size that can fill the amenities needs and sheer workforce numbers. I got flamed by Cincinnati, and particularly Cleveland posters on this forum for speculating that Amazon would never locate in either metro (or Cbus) simply because we are too small. Adding 50,000 employees in a quick amount of time would simply overwhelm a metro the size of any of the 3Cs. I was told how Cleveland had the big city bones to accommodate such an influx, and how their transit infrastructure made them uniquely suited in the state to handle the rapid addition of 50,000 employees and their families. I got similar reactions from Cincy forumers, who said that we have so much vacant housing and could easily handle Amazon, both in terms of office space and the residential needs of the employees. Maybe today's news will help some of us take the blinders off and bring us back down to reality. That said, Columbus did make the cut. I assume their bid was most appealing due to Ohio State being in the city, as that is really the only advantage I could see Cbus having over either Cincinnati or Cleveland. I don't expect them to advance much further, as they are also constrained by capacity, being a mid sized metro. I think Detroit metro has the size to be able to accommodate something like Amazon HQ2, they have the access to plenty of students/potential employees at UM and MSU, and their airport is the biggest and best in the Midwest, outside of O'Hare. Its downfall, I think, is probably the state of the city itself. The Metro is pretty healthy, and there is a ton of money in the Detroit burbs, with Oakland County being one of the wealthiest and largest counties around (Midwest version of Orange County), but the city itself is still pretty much in freefall, other than Downtown and isolated corridors. The momentum is definitely picking up in Detroit's core, but it's probably just a case of too little too late when it comes to luring a company like Amazon. Cincinnati added 50,000 the past 2 and a half years.

350 billion but hire only 20,000? Somehow the numbers are not adding up.

I think people want more modern and new homes. They don't want the headache of remodeling and maintenance of older homes. I bought my first home. An older one(1965), but it needs lots of work. I got a great deal on it in a great neighborhood in Ky.

I hear you all had a parade and some players are pissed. :o

What happen the 15 years before Lewis?

Yes. His tweet alone caused Boeing to lose billions in stock value.

The UA is what would make the 2 a MSA. It was there, but they choose to not combine them by changing the criteria. NYC would have absorbed Philadelphia. Of course they are not having that. If WAR happens with North Korea you can throw any of those growth patterns and immigration numbers away. Ohio just needs to solve it's crime problem. Then investment and jobs will follow.

I think Ky would want this because most of it would be in Ohio. Ohio would pay for most of the costs for it. It would give Ky a chance to loot more Ohio companies as well.

Wrong is you live in Ohio you have to pay that use tax.
