Hamilton County • July 29, 2025
Good morning, Hamilton County. July is departing with a weather warning fanfare as the National Weather Service issues alerts across our Ohio-Kentucky region. While Mother Nature commands our attention outdoors, Champion Windows' parent company is building something impressive indoors—nearly 1,000 new jobs statewide with 583 positions coming directly to Greater Cincinnati. This major expansion joins other economic bright spots, including a manufacturer bringing over 100 high-paying roles to our community.
Meanwhile, a local religious leader's detention has mobilized community action. Ayman Soliman, formerly a chaplain at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and volunteer imam at Clifton Mosque, was arrested earlier this month after his asylum status was revoked. The Egyptian native, who fled to America in 2014 seeking safety from persecution, now awaits a virtual immigration hearing while supporters advocate for his release through various demonstrations.
