WHY TONIGHT'S RIVERFRONT COMMONS MEETING MATTERS
A perfectly timed study from the University of Cincinnati indicates that a location near nature trails could hold a financial benefit for homeowners and ultimately neighboring communities. Tonight's meeting between the Army Corps of Engineers and local government leaders is at 7PM inside commission chambers at City Hall. They'll discuss the feasibility of the 11.5 mile trail along the river stretching across all the NKY River Cities. What amazing possibilities. I'll be there tonight and will have a post later.
