I have seen Hops in the Hangar advertised the last few years and it always looks like a good time, but I have never actually made my way down there. Thinking about finally going this year.

I am a big fan of the Dayton Air Show, so anything aviation related usually catches my attention. I know this is not on that scale, but the idea of hanging out around planes with some local beer still seems pretty cool.

For those who have gone before, what is it like?
Does it get crazy packed or is it manageable?
Is it mostly local breweries, and is it worth the ticket price?

Figured I would try to get an actual conversation going in here about something local instead of the usual bot posts. Would love to hear some real opinions from people who have been.

I am looking for places that are specifically lgbtqia and or homeless. My brother passed away and will be cleaning out his apartment today.

If anyone knows of any groups or homes that would like items and can do it today(Saturday Feb 28), please let me know.

Why is the r/MiddletownOhio sub suddenly filled with onlyfans promos?

Major steel project in JD Vance’s hometown on a list of Trump cuts to manufacturing industry

The centerpiece of President Donald Trump’s America-first economic agenda is reinvigorating the manufacturing industry. But his administration is planning to slash a key program that invests in some of the biggest manufacturing industries in the US, including in Vice President JD Vance’s hometown in the heart of the Rust Belt.

A $500 million grant from the Biden administration was slated for steel giant Cleveland-Cliffs in Middletown, Ohio — to help the company upgrade its aging blast furnaces. Another $75 million was awarded to the company for a similar project in Pennsylvania.

The new furnaces — which run on climate-friendly hydrogen, natural gas and electricity instead of coal — would have extended the life of the plant and given the steel company a foot in the future.

But those grants, which would have created over 100 permanent jobs and 1,200 construction jobs in Middletown alone, are slated for termination under the Trump administration, according to internal administration documents obtained by CNN.

“An unelected billionaire who made his vast fortune off government contracts should not be able to unilaterally stop these programs,” Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, told CNN in a statement, referring to Elon Musk, whose efficiency department has worked to slash programs and budgets across the federal government.

“An unelected billionaire who made his vast fortune off government contracts should not be able to unilaterally stop these programs,” Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, told CNN in a statement, referring to Elon Musk, whose efficiency department has worked to slash programs and budgets across the federal government.

The Energy Department has frozen billions of Biden-era, congressionally appropriated grant programs for months while it reviews them and decides which ones to cut. The department’s $6.3 billion program that gave money to Cleveland-Cliffs and other big industrial companies to modernize their equipment could be cut by two-thirds, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.

Experts fear the cuts could have a chilling effect on America’s manufacturing industry, especially as the global economy reels from Trump’s tariff war. Trump’s tariffs, which were meant to be a boon to manufacturing, could be painful in the short term as they roil markets, stoke recession fears and seize supply chains.

Some projects have been spared, including $500 million awarded to aluminum company Century Aluminum to build a new and more efficient smelter – the first new smelter built in the nation in decades.

The haphazard cuts to major projects in red states like Ohio baffled some stakeholders.

One source told CNN it “makes zero sense” to cut a major federal grant to one of the largest employers in the vice president’s hometown.

“There’s no political logic to it whatsoever,” the source said. “Cliffs is the major vertically integrated steel manufacturer left in this country, and they’ve been quite supportive of Trump’s tariffs. This really reads like a bunch of 24-year-olds at DOGE are working through this.”

Shawn Coffey, president of the union representing more than 2,000 Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown workers, called grant funding “huge.”

“Anytime you can upgrade a facility — getting environmentally friendlier — that extends the life of the mill,” said Coffey, who leads the International Association of Machinists Local 1943. “It’s for the future of my kids, grandkids.”

If that funding is taken away, Coffey said it would be up to the company on whether or not to shoulder the cost of the project alone. Cleveland-Cliffs did not respond to CNN’s request for comment on the funding.

“If they decide not to go through with it, that’s 170 jobs we won’t be getting in the next five years,” Coffey said. “Does it change the outlook of Middletown works? It depends on what the future holds. We’ll regroup and continue to make steel in Middletown the best we can.”

A former employee at DOE’s Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations, which oversees the $6.3 billion grant program among others, told CNN the Trump administration’s federal grants freeze disrupted early scoping work on dozens of projects selected under the Biden administration. Many projects that had received small amounts of funding to start construction planning suddenly had that funding shut off.

“It was almost like an on-off switch,” the former employee said.

Further complicating matters, DOE staffers were told not to communicate with companies about the future of their federal grants.

“The whole point of OCED and (the $6.3 billion grant program) is investing in companies and industries that haven’t been invested in for decades – steel, cement,” the former employee said. “You can’t say you’re supporting manufacturing and then do things that prevent that manufacturing from coming in.”

The climate-friendly Biden administration saw the grants as a tool to get major industries to pollute less. But they saw other benefits too; namely, modernizing a key US industry and making it competitive for generations to come.

“What were we trying to do with these kinds of programs was to strengthen US economic competitiveness and reshore manufacturing, which aligns really well with the Trump administration and its energy abundance agenda, re-shoring manufacturing agenda,” said Sameera Fazili, who served as deputy director of the National Economic Council under Biden. “And instead, the Trump administration has just had this slash and burn policy.”

Fazili said pulling back on these grants, especially given the economic uncertainty caused by Trump’s tariffs, could severely damage bedrock US industries like steel, aluminum, and cement.

“You can’t cut your way to economic competitiveness; you have to make strategic public investments,” she said.

I’m a big fan of lo-mein, sesame chicken, and crab rangoons. Thank you!

There’s a dead raccoon on my street and I’ve called every number I can think of to no avail.

How much does AK Steel pay to start out? Is there any room for growth in the company?

I know I’m the only one posting on here, but y’all have helpful insights. Look for Mexican restaurants with the a)best food b) best margs c) best queso dip. If one has all three then even better!

A project to convert the Cleveland-Cliffs Middletown steel mill to hydrogen from coal, greatly reducing Greater Cincinnati's air pollution and ensuring the economic viability of the major regional employer, appears to have been abandoned. The Trump administration's rollback of Inflation Reduction Act grants and development of hydrogen infrastructure reportedly caused Cleveland-Cliffs to abandon the project, according to the following articles.

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio (WKRC) - A significant hydrogen-conversion project at the Cleveland-Cliffs steel mill in Middletown was facing cancellation after the Trump administration appeared to rescind a $527 million grant intended for the initiative....

Yong Kwon of the Sierra Club highlighted the plant's significant environmental impact, noting it is one of Ohio's largest polluters. He said it emits the third-highest amount of carbon monoxide statewide and the sixth-highest amount of soot.

The project would have involved replacing coal-reliant blast furnaces with hydrogen-ready direct-reduced iron plants and electric melting furnaces....

The planned switch from a coal-based steel plant to hydrogen was expected to create 1,200 union construction jobs and protect 2,500 existing positions....

The project was also projected to achieve cost savings for the plant of $450 million annually through efficiency gains and it improved the pollution outlook for the Middletown community surrounding the mill.

According to a recent report from industrious labs, the plant’s coke supplier contributes to anywhere from 45 to 82 premature deaths and more than $2 billion dollars in health-related costs across Ohio each year. Coke comes from coal and is a fuel and reducing agent used to produce iron ore in blast furnaces.

[Hilary Lewis, the steel director with Industrious Labs, an environmental organization working to decarbonize heavy industry] said those health-related costs from the plant’s coke supplier include over 7,000 cases of asthma symptoms and multiple ER visits annually.

“But when you look at a clean hydrogen-based facility, many of these pollutants are nearly eliminated or dramatically reduced," she said.
