🎃 Pumpkin economy

Clermont County • October 7, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Clermont County. Pumpkins are glowing, manufacturers are growing, and autumn festivities are in full swing across the region. With 6,000 hand-carved jack o'lanterns illuminating the Cincinnati Zoo and America's River Roots Festival celebrating our nation's approaching 250th birthday, the area is bursting with seasonal spirit. Whether you're brave enough for the USS Nightmare or prefer the family-friendly trick-or-treat stations at HallZOOeen, there's something for every Halloween enthusiast.

The economic landscape is brightening alongside those festive pumpkins. Vega Americas' impressive 120,000-square-foot expansion in Mason has already created 31 new jobs, with more on the horizon as domestic production increases. Meanwhile, Liberty Township families will soon have a new childcare option as BrightPath prepares to open its eighth Ohio location this winter, bringing its nature-focused curriculum and 30-35 employment opportunities to the growing community.
