John Ridge (aka Mr Dr Jennifer Ridge) owns the building and according to what I hear is cleaning it out and selling the fixtures in hopes of a new Venture soon.

City managers report:
K‐Mart Closing

Unfortunately, Kmart will be closing their store in Middletown in November. We have already been in contact with the appropriate parties and will visit with the remaining shops in the center to ensure their continued viability in the retail center. As unfortunate as store closings are, this is a good opportunity to examine reuse of an underutilized retail space. Kmart provides about $14,000 per year in income tax revenues.

From the MJ:
 

"Sears Holding does not release store sales data, Freely said the closing has more to do with the company not reaching an agreement with the landlord during negotiations and she did not know the specifics on the store’s performance.

The store, located at 4601 Roosevelt Blvd., is owned by Daniel G. Kamin and Middletown Eastgate Llc, according to the Butler County Auditor Office’s Web site.

The closing is not part of a larger initiative by Sears Holding to consolidate stores, and is one of a handful of other locations that will be shuttered this year after company evaluations, Freely said."

Irisner I agree with what you say.  My whole contention is that Middletown needs an infusion of cash NOW.  Not 5-10 years from now, not 15 years from now when the country comes back to where it was, but now.
 
As far as gambling goes I can take it or leave it.  I have lived 5 minutes from casinos and never set foot in them the whole time I lived there.  But they are a source of cash for a city in Middletowns situation and would draw people from a large surrounding area, is it going to happen probably not here but they will be in Cincy and surrounding areas before to long.
 
Lotterys just about every state that voted in a lottery let the state governemnt pull the wool over their eyes with the promise of it going to education.  It did but the state then reduced the Education funds and then added in the lottery funds in many if not all cases.
 
Our only difference is that I am talking creating Revenues now and yours is a more long term strategy which I don't think Middletown can survive the wait.

Hermes- the subject of Middletown being totally reliant on steel was brought to their attention in a letter I wrote in the 80's and I personally handed it to then Councilman, Bill Donham, who was the "head dog" and well thought of in the community. It was also published in the Letters To The Editor to the community. (Note to Mike P- it was about the time that they were discussing moving the post office from down on Verity to the Montgomery Ward building over on University). The letter stated the consequences of the perverbial "eggs in one basket" theme that has been mentioned many times. As usual, they made the wrong choices by not replacing the paper mills and other assorted businesses over the years and didn't heed the letter because I didn't matter. Now, after years of inactivity of replacing those that left or went out of business, we are all seeing the devastation it has left. IMO, Middletown has a great location. If the people running the town would have kept up with the times and observed what was developing around them, we would have been "up to date" as to the town being as successful as the others have been. Gee, sometimes all it takes is to observe success and imitate it. But, nooooo, we have self destructed because we, the people, have put in place, people who were locked into a non-progressive mindset from the late 70's to now and we are so far behind the times that it will take a MAJOR (180 degree) change just to BEGIN to correct this mess they have created. Again, gut the entire Council/School Board and fire the city manager/department heads and start with problem solvers for the city instead of game players who accomplish absolutely nothing and have to back up to their paychecks out of guilt. Break down/ repour the "foundation" of this city before we can begin to rebuild the framework. That means the removal of the current administration. As long as they are there, we are going nowhere.

I think the powers to be need Eco 101.  They need to get back to the basics.  What they are doing is running everyone out.  They do not even want to allow a gas station out by the highway.  Most travelers stop to eat and fill up at the same exit.  No gas station they will just keep on driving.  ]]> Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:33:42 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1467&PID=7858&title=coming-available-84180-sq-ft#7858
