• Cincinnati City Council created a new seven-member Board of Housing Appeals and repealed some Vacated Building Maintenance License fees.
• Cincinnati was seeking up to $16.5 million in grants, loans, and loan assistance from the Ohio Public Works Commission for roadway and infrastructure improvements.
• A Tax Incentive Review Council study showed that Cincinnati's Enterprise Zone job creation tax incentives exceeded employment goals by 2 percent and investment goals by 65.9 percent in 2007.
• Stern-Hendy Properties and The Wallick Companies announced a merger that would make them Ohio's largest owner and manager of affordable housing with a portfolio of more than 12,000 units.
• A Mount Lookout home was razed, likely as a teardown/rebuild.
• I visited Montgomery.
