Free downtown Hamilton shuttle service in line for city funding
Hold onto your hats, folks, because it's official: Hamilton's dream of having a free shuttle service is becoming a reality! Despite initial worries about costs, the city of Hamilton has swooped in to save the day and is gearing up to launch the much-needed LocalMotive shuttle service.
Picture this: a vibrant, bustling city core where residents and visitors alike can hop aboard a sleek GEM e6 vehicle, all courtesy of LocalMotive. Economic Development Manager Jody Gunderson couldn't contain his enthusiasm as he revealed that after a brief setback, the city received a game-changing email from LocalMotive, signaling their intention to forge ahead with the business.
But wait, it gets better! With the visionary minds of the Wards - Dustin, Devan, and Derrick - along with Hamilton's support, a whopping $90,000 Commercial Revolving Loan Fund is on the table. That's right, folks! This injection of funds, recommended by the Hamilton Community Improvement Corporation, is poised to turbocharge the launch of LocalMotive.
And hold onto your seats because the excitement doesn't stop there! This revolutionary shuttle service isn't just about transportation; it's about community engagement and economic empowerment. With snazzy in-vehicle iPads showcasing local activities and digital advertising opportunities, LocalMotive is set to revolutionize the way we explore our city.
But wait, there's more! Brace yourselves for the grand unveiling: a thrilling route that promises to whisk passengers away on a journey of discovery and convenience. With plans to operate Thursday through Sunday, the city is fine-tuning the route to ensure maximum impact.
And guess what? It's not just about convenience; it's about transforming our cityscape. By keeping more cars off the roads and tourists flocking to local businesses, LocalMotive is a game-changer for Hamilton's economic and traffic woes.
But don't just take our word for it! Mayor Pat Moeller is throwing his weight behind this exciting venture, calling it a fantastic use of the revolving loan fund. And Councilman Tim Naab? He's practically bursting with excitement, envisioning a future where LocalMotive's route expands, propelling our city to even greater heights.
So mark your calendars, folks! City Council is gearing up to give the green light at its March 13 meeting, paving the way for LocalMotive to hit the streets and transform Hamilton into a city like no other. Get ready to hop aboard the LocalMotive hype train - the ride of a lifetime awaits! 🚀🌟

Numerous Hamilton Graduates Anticipated to Embrace Free Tuition Opportunity at Miami Hamilton
Wonderful news is on the horizon for students at Hamilton High School, Butler Tech, and Stephen T. Badin Catholic High School as they embark on their journey towards higher education. Thanks to the Miami Regionals Hamilton Promise, a heartwarming collaboration between the Hamilton Community Foundation, Miami University Regionals, and the City of Hamilton, eligible students will have the incredible opportunity to pursue their dreams with free tuition for 2-year or 4-year degrees at Miami Hamilton.
This initiative aims to support Pell-Grant eligible students who have attended one of these esteemed schools in Hamilton for four years, while also being a resident of Hamilton throughout their high school journey. With a cumulative high school GPA of 2.5 or higher, along with the completion of the FAFSA by April 1, 2024, these students can step into their future without the burden of tuition fees at Miami Hamilton.
Jacob Stone-Welch, the compassionate director of donor services for Hamilton Community Foundation, joyfully announces the commencement of this promise starting this fall, allowing graduating high school seniors to apply for the scholarship for the fall semester of 2024.
Understanding the financial considerations of higher education, it's heartening to know that Pell-Grant eligible students will receive support based on various factors such as their Expected Family Contribution, cost of attendance, and student status. While precise figures are yet to be determined, it's estimated that approximately 50-100 students will benefit from this program annually.
Thanks to the generous contribution of $663,000 over five years from the Hamilton Community Foundation, this initiative is set to make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless students in the community.
Trevor House, an admission counselor for Miami Regionals Office of Admissions, shares his enthusiasm for the opportunities this program presents to students. He expresses his excitement for the students of Hamilton High School and Badin High School, recognizing the potential for them to pursue higher education without the financial strain, provided they meet the necessary criteria.
This promise not only paves the way for students to achieve their academic aspirations but also fosters personal growth and development. As Jacob Stone-Welch aptly puts it, "Educational attainment is a leading factor in the success of any individual, but whenever you translate that across many individuals, it also impacts our whole community." We are truly honored to be a part of this transformative program that empowers students and strengthens our community as a whole.

St. Ann Church in Hamilton, Ohio, stands as a beacon of faith and architectural splendor, overcoming financial turmoil to become a cherished landmark.
Established in 1908
St. Ann Church is not just a place of worship but a historical landmark that encapsulates Hamilton's rich history and the community's spirit. The church's ability to maintain traditions, such as the use of real candles, amidst modern changes, speaks to its role as a pillar of continuity and faith. As Hamilton's largest neighborhood, Lindenwald, and its manufacturing roots have evolved, St. Ann Church remains a constant, inviting parishioners and visitors to appreciate its beauty and heritage.
