Goetz Tower Redevelopment - When will reconstruction finally begin on this long-lingering mixed-use "downtown" project? Are Ohio allocated Historic Preservation Tax Credits at stake because of said years of delays?
BMW Motorcyle Shop - When will Columbus-based re-developers finally begin reconstructing the the former "near downtown" Senior Citizens Center? Former CG&E Building - Store Master Funding, LLC, purchaser of said property from Cincinnati State/HEP and current landlord, is over $337,000 in arrears with Butler County property taxes. Is there any county or city recourse? Liberty Spirits LLC - Is there anything to report on the Phase II status of property sold to them by the city? Also, the name of a new entity has been added to the bottom of the Liberty Spirits sign. What if anything does this mean? Manchester Inn - Is there anything new to report on Mr. Grau's long-promised redevelopment plans? Snider Building - Is there anything new to report on Mr. Grau's long-promised redevelopment plans? Rose Furniture Building - Is there anything new to report on the building front wall remnant of this property?

Regarding the Snider and Manchester buildings, it was reported quite some time ago that Mr. Grau has ceased any forward development plans and put the buildings on the market. Seems that when he couldn't get the city to do all the work for him and give him the same level of freebies that they gave Atrium (other than two buildings for A DOLLAR of course), and he was going to have to put in his own money and effort that he threw a hissy fit and quit trying.
There's a thread around here somewhere on this board with links to the listings and the development plans for each building.

There are two types of people: those that talk the talk and those that walk the walk. People who walk the walk sometimes talk the talk but most times they don't talk at all, 'cause they walkin.'

A city blacklist for Grau and Robinette should be in effect. They have both demonstrated ineffective results as to honoring their contracts and being responsible for the taxpayer money the city has already given them.
Both should be permanently excluded from any future development proposals in the city. Both should be made to repay the city for the money loaned to them. Why hasn't this been pursued by the law department in this city? |

Interesting story in the Journal......What is also new is that Doug Adkin's administrative assistant is allegedly accused of theft from Kohl's. What is somewhat incredible is that she has worked for the city for nine years and has risked losing her 54 grand salary as well. What are people thinking to gamble with their livelihood in risking a nice salary with bennies?
I don't understand the pay structure at all in the public sector. I know an admin. asst. who worked in the private sector at P&G and she didn't make close to that salary after 15 years with the company. She has given the city workers a black eye here and has provided more controversy. The city doesn't need more negative news as it has more than it's fair share to deal with as it is. Will be interesting to see how the legal system here in Middletown handles this case. Will she receive special treatment as she moves through the process as she is connected with the city manager or will it be conducted in an impartial manner? |

Well, Viet, I'm concerned - but I'm also one who believes that the court of public opinion has no bearing on true guilt or innocence. So, I await hearing more about the case before I'm going to get too worked up over it. And even then - sure it's a black eye to the city for a short period of time - but this certainly is way down the severity list of employee controversies the city has had.
According to the Urinal - a special judge and prosecutor will be named in this case because of Nadine's familiarity around the city. The Urinal story leaves me believing that there may be more to the story...and until otherwise proven I'm giving Nadine the benefit of the doubt. As far as her pay goes - I don't know - first she has to put up with Adkins everyday of her life, she is ultimately required to attend many city functions well after hours - which is how I came to know her - and perhaps when you add it all up - the salary seems a bit high from what you and I are both used to in the private sector - but it is a bit more in line I think with the actual responsibilities of the position. It will be interesting to see what occurs.....
