Happy New Year everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season celebrating with family and friends. I enjoyed spending it with my wife, Jan, and the whole family and doing all the fun activities that come with the season.
I first want to extend a huge thank you to our General Services Department, Garden Club, and Shine Cincinnati on their hard work on making our city look so magical during the holidays with the lights and wreaths lining our streets and Parks.
I also want to thank our Planning Commission, Kevin Barbian, Mark Stewart, Cheri Scherpenberg, and CT Consultants Frank Twehues and Alisa Duffey Rogers on their work over the past year and a half revamping our Zoning Ordinance. This was a huge undertaking to complete and we are very thankful for their assistance on this.
The city’s 2025 events calendar is up on socials and post cards can be picked up at the city building or at several local establishments. Pick one up and stick it on your refrigerator!
I look forward to all the exciting things that we have planned for this year along with all possibilities and opportunities that may come about! Let’s have a great New Year in the Fort!
