Middletown will receive a $1 million federal loan to help rejuvenate the downtown area. First, the city plans to buy local buildings for the use of Cincinnati State Technical and Community College Middletown. This will help support local businesses by increasing the student population downtown. Antonio R. Riley, the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s Midwest administrator said, “A community college renting space in these redevelopment structures downtown will put vacant buildings to very good use. It will also increase retail business and provide job training for residents while creating approximately 34 jobs -- truly a win-win situation for Middletown.” Many businesses have made a commitment to send employees to Cincinnati State Technical and Community College Middletown for job training. Also the school has around 30 local corporations that it has partnered with to train employees and provide graduates new job opportunities.
