Symmes Township, Ohio – The Cincinnati Public Library will demolish and construct a new Symmes Branch at the current location. The preliminary estimate for the 22,000-square-foot building is approximately $16 million. Estimated Completion date is late 2025 or early 2026
The final design and cost-estimating process is wrapping up for the project.
In order to expedite the project, they will begin demolition while the project construction is out for bid.
A temporary location will be at 9267 Governor’s Way, approximately .5 miles from the branch, to provide space for basic service during the construction of the new building including holds pickup, material returns, passport service, limited programs, and a “curated” collection. The Library Facilities Team is preparing the space, and expect to move to the location in early October.
The Library says they have spent a considerable amount of time and resources over the last year developing and evaluating design options to improve the existing branch parking lot, pedestrian and traffic safety, and service operations at the system’s busiest branch.
“During the process, the estimates to renovate and create a small addition were between $8 million – $10 million. Considering the lack of options to make cost-efficient and significant improvements, and given a rare opportunity for the Library to take advantage of tax reduction energy incentives, the Library is now considering a plan to demolish the existing structure and construct a new larger branch that is planned to include solar panels and a geothermal energy system.”

Loveland, Ohio – Cincinnati Children’s Loveland Primary Care will open in spring 2025. Pediatric services will be available to families who now drive longer distances to other locations operated by the nation’s No. 1 health system for children.
Work is to begin soon on interior renovations to an existing building at 10554 Loveland-Madeira Road. The location, near the intersection with East Kemper Road, is easily accessible from Interstate 275’s Exit 52 by Lake Isabella.
Cincinnati Children’s secured a long-term lease for the building in the Symmes Gate Station shopping center, which previously housed a CVS pharmacy.
“Many families who live in Loveland or surrounding areas such as Symmes Township depend on pediatric primary care from Cincinnati Children’s, and they soon will have a much closer option for this service,” said Evaline Alessandrini, MD, chief operating officer. “We are making this investment to ensure families have convenient access to world-class healthcare.”
Cincinnati Children’s Loveland Primary Care will eventually accommodate up to 25,000 patient visits annually, said Jeff Anderson, MD, senior vice president and chief Population Health officer. That will include children from newborn through adolescence.
“Our goal is to ensure that the region’s children are the healthiest in the nation, and part of that goal is to provide families with close-to-home options – including excellent primary care for kids,” Anderson said. “Our primary care providers work closely with pediatric specialists at Cincinnati Children’s for more advanced care options if needed.”
Initially, over a dozen Cincinnati Children’s employees will work at the Loveland location, including a physician, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, a behavioral health counselor, medical assistants and patient access representatives. The workforce will expand with the patient base, Anderson said.
Cincinnati Children’s Loveland Primary Care encompasses 10,125 square feet, which affords space to accommodate growth. Cincinnati Children’s estimates design and renovation of the building will cost about $6 million. Design partners are GBBN Architects, KFI Engineers, RCF Group and Kolar Design. The project will be built out by Triversity Construction.
Cincinnati Children’s already offers pediatric primary care in Anderson Township, Avondale, Batesville, Cold Spring, Fairfield, Florence, Greensburg, Kenwood, Liberty Township, Mason, North Fairmount, Southgate and Springdale as well as at three school-based health centers in Cincinnati.
In addition, Cincinnati Children’s has begun construction on a medical building that will include pediatric primary care in the Boone County city of Union, Ky.
Classes will be held on Wednesday evenings from 7 PM to approximately 9 PM starting July 31 with graduation Monday, September 9th.
The LSFD Citizens Fire Academy has a great history of success that we are very proud of. Past participants reported that they truly enjoyed the training and developed a much better understanding of the level of training and dedication firefighters need to perform their tasks. One participant said that she expected that most of the training would be in the classroom and was surprised that it was hands-on education as well.
“Our Citizens Fire Academy is a fun and easy way to see demonstrations and participate in hands-on training at your own comfort level. You will meet some of our firefighters and have the opportunity to handle some of our equipment” said LSFD Chief Otto Huber. Examples include hose and ladder operations, the use of firefighting equipment, and the ability to see the vehicles and other equipment up close. Huber said, “Naturally this is done in a safe and supervised level and is for people of any ability whatsoever-everyone is welcome.”
