Plan for downtown building draws mixed zoning view
Montesi Smith LLC plans up to 19 artist spaces at the front and lofts in the rear of the former newspaper building after purchasing it from Cox Media Group Ohio. They aim to invest 1 million to 2 million dollars, despite staff concerns over heavy commercial zoning. A second proposal in the South End seeks a homeless shelter or veterans group home at 1314 Fairmount Ave to aid recovery, with three to five residents. The planning commission did not decide before press time.

Head Start cuts limit Butler County program intake
Head Start in Butler County will accept only 720 students this year, 64 fewer than last year, according to Superintendent Jon Graft of the Butler County Educational Services. He says the reduction reduces opportunities for impoverished children to enter kindergarten. Advocate Denise Driehaus and local parents urge restoring funding, noting Head Start’s proven impact on school readiness and long term education.
