Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 5th of May.
Good morning, Hamilton.
🏘️ Community
The Dunham recreation center on the west side will receive $7.6M over two years through the Cincy On Track program.
Officials say the funding will upgrade the facility to better serve local residents.
💼 Business
Downlite International is set to close its Deerfield Township headquarters and Blue Ash facility between June 19 and July 2 as part of its sale to Boca Raton-based Live Comfortably.
The move will lead to 164 layoffs, including the full C-suite, under the *WARN Act*.
🎓 Education
Four local school districts are asking voters to approve an earned income tax on the ballot, with Mount Healthy Schools proposing a 0.75% rate to fund essential operations after significant staff cuts.
The tax would not affect Social Security (pensions, unemployment benefits, disability income, or investment income).
Southwest Local Schools will close Friday due to the funeral of Harrison High teacher Steve Coffman, who died after a medical emergency last Thursday.
Coffman's visitation runs from 3 to 7 p.m. at Weigel Funeral Home in Batesville, with a Mass at 10 a.m. Friday.
