Greater Cincinnati #6 in the Nation for Business Expansion
This is great news for us! While the region is pretty big (15 counties, presumably this refers to the Cincinnati-Middletown Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area) it's positive news that needs to be played up.

Duke Energy Customer Service
Since the City sold its (our) streetlights to Duke Energy, using the City's Customer Service system/online Service Request process only refers requests for streetlight repair to Duke and the City washes its hand of the matter (I referred a problem 3 months ago and followed up a short time ago).
Cut to the chase: go here and request a repair, or tree trimming, or other Duke Energy-related service.
Note: for some reason Duke wants you to have an account to report a street light out, so have your bill handy for reporting this information, or just call them at the listed number.
Take charge Price Hill!

Hillside Steps Inventory 2006-2009
Following is a sumary of the state of East Price Hill's Hillside Steps as inventoried by the City's Department of Transportation & Engineering. Red-shaded text indicates a change in status from Open to Closed within the past three years. Yellow-shaded text indicates an inspection that is reflected in the 2009 inventory as an update from the 2006 inventory. It is a little distressing that three sets of steps were allowed to fall into such disrepair as to necessitate their closure and that three other sets have degraded in condition from Excellent to Good (2) or Good to Fair. However, I have seen new handrails installed on #317 (Peerless Street, presumably one of those "paper streets") so hopefully this will be formally re-opened since it certainly is in use.
It is interesting that the new and old closures have been removed from the inventory; how many more of these assets have been abandoned by the City and airbrushed from our neighborhood's history in this manner?
EPHIA in the news
Price Hill Press published a great story about the work EPHIA is doing alongside our fellow organizations, stakeholders and neighborhood investors: read it here.
CIRV Year 2 Report
The Cincinnati Initiative to Reduce Violence (CIRV) has issued its Year 2 Report: read it here.
Citizens Complaint (Authority) & Internal Audit Report
You may recall the CCA was merged into Cincinnati's Internal Audit function; this links to its July-December 2009 report.
