In addition, a new one will probably appear next year. >Greater Cincinnati will likely add still another Fortune 500 company next year when the list comes out in May or June.

It will almost certainly show up on next year’s roster.

- Oktoberfest Zinzinnati 2024- Review
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/19984763
> Apologies for not putting a reminder up but Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is back and running through Sunday. Here's a short "review" of how it seems now that it's down at Sawyer Point. > > #### Space > First things first- it feels way, way more open and manageable. Time will tell with bigger crowds that will come this weekend but the initial impression is it feels much better. You can move around, plenty of seating, and they wisely oriented food trucks and booths away from each other so the lines don't run into each other like we always had on 5th, etc. > > #### Ambiance > Also tons better. You get the great view of the river right there, the shade of the trees, and no heat coming back at you from asphalt. The Festzelt (main tent) is quite large and has nice attention to detail on the inside. There are a few biergartens spread about and the use of the Serpentine Wall for extra performance space is great. Plenty of beer booths spread about, a decent amount of food options as well. Lastly- the huge flags flying over Sawyer Point are a great touch. > > #### Parking > From what I hear pretty good. Lots of space on Eggleston and you can of course park over in KY if you're on that side to begin with and just walk over the purple people bridge. > > #### Transit and pedestrian > Pretty good overall though not as convenient as 5th or 2nd/3rd. Closest bus stops are probably Govt Square. The streetcar of course drops off at 2nd and that isn't a terrible walk to the west entrance. Biking is accessible with lots of places to lock up (trees or other) or taking a red bike right to the entrance of the purple people bridge (assuming there is an open slot to lock it). Pedestrian access is great as there is no fencing unlike Riverfest so you can approach from any which way. > > #### Cons > Not many that I've seen so far. Time will tell about the ability to handle crowds but the one notable "con" (oddity rather) is that they put all the wares vendors over on the far east side of the fest space. Make sure to go visit them as there is some cool stuff that way.] > > Prost!
- Commissioners propose 1.3 billion dollar "renovation" of Bengals stadium

- Another article- https://www.fox19.com/2024/09/17/live-hamilton-county-commissioners-reveal-1-billion-paycor-stadium-renovation-plan/
Initial reports said 900 million but CBC and Fox19 are both reporting 1.2-1.3 billion so I'm leaning towards that being it.

- Changes to the BSB complementary bridge
>Arnold said widening such overpasses is possible, but not in the plans today.
>“There is room to do additional width on Fifth Street. Seventh and Eighth have the potential for extra width. It’s about where does it make sense,” he said. “If the city says, ‘We’d like to do this,’ we can find ways to allow for it in the future.”
What a load of crap. 4 billion plus but we can't do this? Carries 2+% of GDP but we can't make it so it works for the city?
