FITWORKS GRAND OPENING
Fitworks is a local
go-to place, great for exercise and socializing, frequented by many Highland
Heights friends and neighbors.
You can’t go there this weekend.
That's because Fitworks is in the process of moving into the renovated Catalano’s building, located in what developer Lance
Osborne has dubbed (I think somewhat hilariously) “The Shoppes at
Brainard Crossing”.
Pretty grand name for such a small development…

Could it signal the opening shot of an effort to commercialize Wilson Mills Road?
Fitworks plans a soft opening on March 24th, with an official grand
opening scheduled for Saturday April 12th.
Members can score a free t-shirt (with a coupon, while
supplies last) if they bring someone along to work out or just to tour the new
space.
As far as signage..some good news.
The Fitworks building sign is zoning compliant.
No zoning variances were requested or required.
2014 BUDGET
In a break from its recent bad habits, Council is listening to three readings of Resolution 4-2014 before voting to approve and adopt the city’s 2014 budget.
I haven’t had too much time to look at it, but here’s some interesting information from the budget:
Cost to keep the Community Park illuminated like Progressive Field every night, throughout the night last year? $12,072
That figure excludes pool-related electricity.
It includes $5,587 for general park electricity and $6485 for baseball field lighting.
