Loveland, Ohio – When the election conversation comes up during the Thanksgiving meal, here is a conversation changer. “Well Uncle Bill, what did you think about the City’s capital improvement budget for next year?”

On November 26 City Manager Dave Kennedy, Assistant City Manager Chris Wojnicz, and Kelsey Richards the City Engineer made a presentation to Council on the City’s projected capital improvement plans of $10.5 M.

Kennedy said that almost 40% of the costs will come from “outside” grant sources. Sidewalk improvements are approximately 26% of the plan.

There are plans to build a new 1M amphitheater in Nisbet Park and a walking trail expansion and “Riverside Swings” for almost 68K. Also, a roundabout at Valleyview Lane.

A plan for PFAS (Forever Chemical) removal from Loveland’s Drinking Water is moving forward, but without a component for water softening.
