Good morning, Clermont County. The badge of trust has been tarnished in Hamilton County, where former deputy Davyne Davis faces felony charges just days after resigning "in good standing." The 36-year-old Mason resident allegedly pocketed $6,000 through fraudulently submitted hours, bringing an abrupt end to his law enforcement career that spanned nearly two years with the sheriff's office and previous stints with Elmwood Place Police and UC Health.
Meanwhile, Clermont County's explosive population growth—up 18% since 2000 with nearly 32,000 new residents—has officials racing to develop housing solutions for its now 209,862 residents. As local leaders tackle this residential puzzle, the business landscape continues evolving, with Coterie Insurance relocating its headquarters to Wisconsin while maintaining its Cincinnati roots. The move highlights the resilience of our region's startup ecosystem, which continues to nurture innovative ventures despite occasional geographic shifts.
