🏙 Cincinnati evolves

Clermont County • October 21, 2025

Local Brew Logo
​

Good morning, Clermont County. Downtown Cincinnati's transformation continues to evolve as Paula Boggs Muething steps into history as the first-ever chief operating officer at 3CDC, the urban development powerhouse behind $2 billion in revitalization projects. Her transition from city manager to development leader represents another significant chapter in the organization reshaping Cincinnati's urban core, particularly in the vibrant Over-the-Rhine district.

While Cincinnati's skyline transforms, lives are being saved on Ohio's roadways. From 1-year-old Ny'omi Washington to 64-year-old Sandra Townsend, twenty Ohioans recently joined the "Saved by the Belt" club during a special ceremony at Kings Island. Meanwhile, your taste buds have a new destination as Canadian import Barrio Burrito Bar debuts its build-your-own Tex-Mex concept in Blue Ash—the chain's ambitious American expansion bringing a taste of Toronto to Cincinnati's dining landscape.

🦺 Twenty Ohioans honored for surviving crashes thanks to seatbelts. The Ohio State Highway Patrol inducted these individuals into their "Saved by the Belt" club during a special event at Kings Island amusement park. Recipients, ranging from 1-year-old Ny'omi Washington to 64-year-old Sandra Townsend, received certificates, license plates, and complimentary park tickets. This recognition highlights the critical importance of seatbelt use, especially considering that over 62% of Ohio's fatal crashes since 2020 involved unbelted individuals. The Highway Patrol uses these ceremonies to promote their safety message while celebrating lives saved.
