Cheviot Mayor’s Court is CANCELED tonight, January 6th due to the weather conditions.
The City of Cheviot has been selected as one of 250 cities in Ohio to help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary in 2026.
July 4, 2026 will be the semi-quincentennial (250th) anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. As part of this significant occasion, all states were invited to create a celebration to reflect the unique character and contribution of each state to the nation over the past 250 years.
On October 24, 2024, the City of Cheviot joined the statewide effort to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary as an official America 250-Ohio Community. This year and beyond, local leaders will work closely with the America 250-Ohio Commission to create, implement and amplify programming designed to showcase the impact City of Cheviot residents have had on our nation’s history.
A committee of local residents has been formed to work on the ways Cheviot will participate in this celebration, working in collaboration with Cheviot Mayor Sam Keller. “We are thrilled to have the honor of helping our country celebrate such a momentous occasion, said Keller. Our committee is enacting a number of exciting ideas that will be a visible way to demonstrate Cheviot’s role in this celebration.”
Bonnie Perrino and Rich Martin are co-chairs of the Cheviot 250 Committee along with a number of other local business leaders, residents and supporters.
Please join us for the next meeting of the WestSide Historical Societies Thursday, October 24, 2024 for a discussion of the upcoming Semiquincentennial of the United States, which is in 2026.

We are pleased to announce that on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, LISC Greater Cincinnati, alongside leadership from our National Office, the Board of County Commissioners, and key program partners, officially launched the Hamilton County Revive + Thrive Home Repair Loan Program. This initiative is the second addition to our Homeownership Preservation Strategy, following Lead Safe Hamilton County. The program is supported by a $2.1 million investment from the Hamilton County Commission through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), with additional backing from the Greater Cincinnati Foundation. Loan financing is provided by Warsaw Federal.
The Revive + Thrive Home Repair Loan Program offers low-interest loans with a 2% interest rate, repayable over a term of up to 10 years. Loans will range from $5,000 to $25,000, available to eligible homeowners with household incomes up to 80% of the area median income (AMI). Currently, the program is targeted to homeowners in participating jurisdictions within Hamilton County, outside the City of Cincinnati. Announcements for City residents will follow soon.
Eligible repairs address critical needs and contribute to the long-term value of the home. Prioritized repair categories include:
• Health and safety (e.g., lead, mold, asbestos)
• Existing code violations
• General, non-cosmetic improvements (e.g., roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, essential structural repairs)
Accessing the Program:
• United Way of Greater Cincinnati’s 211 Helpline will serve as the point of entry for the pre-qualification process.
• Working In Neighborhoods (WIN) will assist eligible homeowners in completing their full application.
• Warsaw Federal, Cincinnati’s first Minority Depository Institution (MDI), will service the loans.
• Habitat for Humanity of Greater Cincinnati will oversee the repairs, ensuring all work is performed by approved subcontractors.
To learn more or to begin the pre-qualification process, interested homeowners should contact 211. Additional program details, including a Pre-Qualification Checklist and FAQs, can be found at www.hamiltoncountyhome.org and Housing & Utilities – 513 Relief.
Attached is a digital card for easy sharing, along with the program FAQ detailing how to get started and a list of the Participating Jurisdictions currently served.
