Open house set for Aicholtz project

The Clermont County Transportation Improvement District (CCTID), in cooperation with the Clermont County Engineer’s Office, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), and Union Township, will host a second open house meeting Wednesday, Dec. 9 to obtain public input for the Aicholtz Connector project.

Citizens are invited to attend anytime between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.; the open house will be held at the Union Township Civic Center, located at 4350 Aicholtz Road.

The Aicholtz Connector project evaluates the corridor between Mount Carmel-Tobasco Road at Old SR 74 and Eastgate Boulevard, to provide recommendations for transportation improvements and a new connection under I-275.

This project will address roadway improvements, pedestrian facilities, and preservation of a corridor for future rail transit.

Exhibits of preliminary alternatives under consideration will be on display at the meeting and representatives from the county, ODOT, Union Township, and the project team will be available to answer questions and gather comments. Comment sheets will be provided.
