Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber

Organizers say Taste of Cincinnati is the nation's oldest and largest culinary festival.

Investment into the Green Cincinnati Plan's sustainability goals will create between 16,000 and 44,000 jobs, according to a new report by the Cincinnati Regional Chamber.

Participants will have access to networking resources, chamber events, group health insurance and more.

The report reviews the costs for a replacement, how it could be financed, what is needed in a new arena, and possible locations.

The whitepaper looked at recent college graduates and those who are about to graduate and enter the workforce.

Brandon Rudd, director of the Chamber's Center for Research and Data, calls the report "a glimpse of now and a snapshot of what we could be in the future."

The German heritage festival moves from between Downtown and The Banks to the riverfront.

The design features a wiener dog in Lederhosen, gothic style lettering and a pretzel.

Food vendors and beer stalls will set up along 5th Street between Main Street and Sentinel for the free annual event.

The mayor established a Futures Commission of local business and labor leaders to do a comprehensive analysis of the city's financial position and recommend changes.
