There will be a groundbreaking ceremony at Lunken Airport's Terminal building on May 14th at 2:30 PM laying out plans for its redevelopment (including a hotel/event center), led by Salyers Group Director of Development, Tyler Watkins, and City of Cincinnati officials.

Lunken Airport Oversight Advisory Board (LAOAB) hopes that citizens can show up and let the City know that their input is important.

Post-event update: The ceremony was brief (~15 minutes) and did not show additional renders. It appeared to specifically represent the start of external construction, as internal "investigative demolition" began months ago. The city website has a news item about the ceremony, as do several news sites: Enquirer, City Beat, C. Business Courier, WLWT (5), WXIX (fox19), & WKRC (local12).

The Cincinnati Fire Department is re-introducing Community Council Notes, including fire prevention best practices as well as trivia about lesser known divisions.
