The Clermont Chamber was proud to join Clermont County, Ohio - Government officials and community partners today for the groundbreaking of two major improvement projects at the Filager Campus in Batavia!

These projects represent an important investment in Clermont County’s future, bringing modern facilities and improved workspaces for the County’s Facilities Management Department, County Engineer and Clermont Transportation Connection (CTC).

Here's what's ahead:
- Phase 2 – $9.8 million: A new facility for Facilities Management and the County Engineer, funded through county capital.

- Phase 3 – $3.3 million: A new home for CTC dispatch operators and staff, supported by federal and state grants.

Together, these projects will support more efficient county operations, strengthen public services and enhance the county’s ability to serve residents for years to come.

With construction underway, Phase 2 is expected to be completed in September 2027, followed by Phase 3 in December 2027.

It's exciting to see continued investment in the infrastructure and facilities that keep our community moving forward. Congratulations to Clermont County and everyone involved in making these projects a reality!

The Clermont Chamber of Commerce joins our community in mourning the loss of our friend, Gene Bishop, who passed away peacefully on November 4.

Gene was a dedicated public servant, passionate volunteer, and tireless advocate for the Clermont County community. Throughout his retirement, he gave generously of his time and talents, supporting numerous organizations and initiatives, including the Miami Township Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, Shop with a Cop, Citizens on Patrol, Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Crime Stoppers, and Pro Seniors, Inc.

His commitment to making a difference did not go unnoticed. Gene was recognized with numerous honors, including the Clermont Chamber’s Salute to Leaders Award, the Law Enforcement Appreciation Awards Citizen’s Award, and the 2021 Martha Dorsey Pacesetter Award, alongside fellow recipients George Pattison, Dan Katt, and Dick Mallon.

Established in 2001 in honor of former Clermont County Commissioner Martha Dorsey, the Pacesetter Award recognizes public servants whose leadership and accomplishments strengthen the economic vitality and reputation of Clermont County. Gene embodied that spirit through his dedication, generosity, and unwavering commitment to others.

Our community is better because of Gene’s willingness to serve, his countless contributions, and the lives he touched along the way. We are grateful to have known him and proud to have called him a Chamber friend.

Rest in peace, Gene. Thank you for a lifetime of service to Clermont County. You will be deeply missed.

Memorial gathering:
Saturday, November 7 | 4–6 p.m.

**“Clermont County is Winning!”**

That was the message from Kimm Lauterbach of REDI Cincinnati during last night's Clermont County Development Forum, and the numbers back it up!

Clermont County is one of Ohio's fastest-growing counties, with population growth nearly three times the state average. In 2025, the county also issued a record-breaking **6,156 building permits**, marking its third consecutive year of record growth.

From residential and commercial development to infrastructure, industrial investment, and workforce opportunities, the conversation made one thing clear: Clermont County's momentum is strong, and there is plenty more on the horizon.

Thank you to our keynote speaker, Kimm Lauterbach, panelists Kris McClintick (Clermont County, Ohio - Government Community & Economic Development), Bryant Fox (Park National Bank, Greater Cincinnati Ohio), and Justin Conger (Conger Construction Group), and emcee Chris Harding (Duke Energy) for sharing their insights and perspectives.

A special thank-you to our Silver Event Sponsor, Conger Construction Group, DJ Spicy Noodle for providing sound, the Little Miami Brewing Co. Event Center event staff for hosting us, and all of our vendors and event partners who helped make the evening a success!

Clermont County is growing. The opportunities are growing with it. And we're excited to see what's next!
