In a June 2016 article, Politico Magazine assessed the evolution of Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine (OTR) neighborhood, and how it went from "the nation's most dangerous neighborhood" to "something that looks and feels like Greenwich Village." The article attributes a measure of this success to the New Markets Tax Credits, which are federal tax credits that are intended to spur investment in low-income urban and rural communities.
Supporters of the tax credits like New Markets and Historic (which are intended to spur investment and rehabilitation of historic buildings), especially in Ohio, find that these tax credits are critical to revitalizing areas like OTR and bringing economic opportunity to otherwise distressed areas. Others believe that tax credits should be replaced with across the board lower taxes, to both simplify and reduce the tax burden.
In the 115th Congress, Congressman Brad Wenstrup is a co-sponsor of the New Markets Tax Credit Extension Act of 2017, which makes the new market tax credit permanent, and the Historic Tax Credit Improvement Act of 2017, which would modernize and increase access to the Historic Tax Credit.

LOCAL MEDICARE
PRESENTATIONS SCHEDULED
Pike County - October 30
Are you a Medicare beneficiary? Want to find out more information about
how the Medicare Annual Coordinated Election Period can work for you?
Want to stay informed and healthy and save money? If so, then mark your
calendar for Medicare informational presentations and counseling events
that will be available this Fall in your county.
These free events are made possible by the Ohio Department of
Insurance's Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP),
which travels the state each fall to help Ohioans, family members and caregivers understand the different Medicare coverage options and available financial assistance. Medicare's Annual Coordinated Election Period starts October 15th and ends December 7th. During this time, Medicare beneficiaries can evaluate their current coverage and make the determination on whether they should switch to a plan that will better support their needs. Those on Medicare are strongly encouraged to attend a session, which will provide helpful information and assistance.
The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) can also help you throughout the year to answer any questions you might have concerning your Medicare coverage, specifically with help surrounding the Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage Low Income Subsidy "Extra Help" Program and the Medicare Savings Program (assistance with Part B premium). If you would like to learn more about these programs and whether or not you are eligible to receive discounts on your prescription drugs, please call our office at 1-800-582-7277 and ask for extension 250.
Local Medicare presentations are scheduled for:
