Clermont County • October 21, 2025
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.

🏙️ Former city manager takes key role at Cincinnati development giant. Paula Boggs Muething has been named as the first chief operating officer at 3CDC, becoming the number two official at the organization. 3CDC has been responsible for shepherding $2 billion in development projects throughout downtown Cincinnati and the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood.

🦺 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.
