The recent economic recession has been felt by everyone: families, businesses, schools, and gov- ernment. However, I believe that Sharonville is rebounding! Our City has experienced an increase in revenue as year-to-date receipts are up 9.38% from this time last year. In addition, our corporate base continues to grow. New companies coming into Sha- ronville include Mammotome, bringing 160 employees with them to E-Business Way; USUI, an auto parts manufacturer, building on Partnership Way in Commerce Park with 200 employees; and Gem City, bringing 23 employees into Commerce Park. Tire Discounters is relocating their headquarters to the distribution center in Sharonville, adding 98 employees, and General Mills recently made a $35 million investment in their facility that will add an additional 20 employees. Growth continues. The dedication of the Berke Memorial Soccer Fields will occur this Fall. The open- ing of Twin Creek Preserve on Nov 15 will mark the completion of a new wetlands project and pas- sive park on the . The expansion of the Sharonville Convention Center will have a mid- point opening in October of this year when we move into the addition and focus on renovating the original center. The project will be about 70% complete at this stage and we anticipate the comple- tion of the total project in April of 2012. The Elected Officials and employees of the City of Sharonville will continue to do their very best to provide you with a community you can be proud to call home. If you have any comments or ques- tions, please call the Administration offices at 563-1144, and as always, visit our website at: www.sharonville.org.
