Clermont County • October 22, 2025
Good morning, Clermont County. From urban development to financial intrigue, Cincinnati's landscape is in flux. Former city manager Paula Boggs Muething is joining 3CDC as chief operating officer while FC Cincinnati pursues a $332 million West End district. Meanwhile, in a stunning financial scandal, Miami Township Fiscal Officer Bob Matthews allegedly attempted to convert $9.7 million in township funds into gold coins—a move that has Attorney General Dave Yost seeking his suspension from office.
Amid these changes, growing families have reason to celebrate as Christ Hospital expands its Liberty Township birthing center. The $13 million project will add five new labor and delivery rooms—including a specialized hydrotherapy room for water births—to accommodate a 20% patient increase over the past year. The expansion, expected to be completed by late 2026, marks the facility's second growth phase since opening in 2018, reflecting the area's evolving healthcare needs.

🏙️ Cincinnati's urban development scene is buzzing with high-profile changes. Former city manager Paula Boggs Muething will join 3CDC as chief operating officer, marking a "pivotal moment" for the nonprofit developer. Meanwhile, FC Cincinnati is seeking final approval for its $332 million West End mixed-use district near TQL Stadium. In financial news, Warsaw Federal received its largest-ever investment of $3 million to boost minority-focused lending. Retail shifts include Wayfair closing its Northern Kentucky warehouse with 215 layoffs, and all Dolly's Burgers & Shakes locations shuttering in Cincinnati and Dayton after just seven months.
💰 Ohio official tried to buy gold coins with $9.7 million in township funds. Attorney General Dave Yost has asked a judge to bar Miami Township Fiscal Officer Bob Matthews from his office while legal proceedings continue. Matthews allegedly attempted to transfer township money to purchase gold coins without proper authorization, violating both Ohio law and township policy. Though elected in November 2023, Matthews has been banned from the office since April by township trustees. If suspended, trustees must appoint a deputy fiscal officer until Matthews returns or a replacement is chosen.
👶 Christ Hospital expands birthing center amid surging demand. The Liberty Township facility is adding five new labor and delivery rooms across two floors, bringing the total to 14 rooms. This $13 million expansion comes in response to a 20% increase in patients over the past year. New features will include a hydrotherapy room allowing women to give birth in warm-water tubs. Construction is underway with completion expected by the end of 2026, representing the hospital's second expansion since opening in 2018.
