LIBERTY CENTER
By now you have heard about the highly touted Liberty Center project that received final approval by both Butler
County Commissioners and Liberty Township Trustees in late July. When open, Liberty Center will become a
defining destination for Liberty Township and a game changer for our entire region. It’s already advertised as one
of the first major post-recession developments in the U.S.
So why is there all this excitement about a new development in Liberty Township? Over the past 16 years
we witnessed the construction of the first new interchange on I-75 in southwestern Ohio in over 40 years –
Union Centre Boulevard that opened up 3,000 acres for commercial development. Additionally we watched
three more interchanges open in the past 11 years – Butler County Regional Highway, Liberty Way and Austin
Boulevard. And we’ve watched as the health care industry has taken the I-75 Growth Corridor by storm,
becoming the most extensive and most competitive anywhere in the nation. So why is the development of
Liberty Center such a coupe for this area? A comparison of Liberty Center to two other Steiner mixed-use
development projects, Easton Town Center in Columbus and The Greene in Beavercreek will help illustrate why.

As you can see the opening of Phase I of Liberty Center will be comparable to
The Greene today in project size, with Liberty Center having more residential
units and more (projected) visitors on an annual basis and which is supported
by more available parking. Also of note; both Easton Town Center and The
Greene opened Phase II of their projects two years after Phase I opened. There
remains 30+ acres yet to be developed at Liberty Center.
Yarimir Steiner, founder and CEO of Columbus-based developer Steiner +
Associates said that Liberty Center is at the brink of becoming that economic
engine we want for this community. “This area calls for a world-class
development and with the (Butler) County and (Liberty) Township we are
prepared to develop our best project yet.”
Announced anchor tenants for the Steiner + Associates and Bucksbaum
Retail Properties development include Dillard’s – a 200,000 sq. ft. department
store, Cobb CineBistro – a luxury dinner-and-a-movie theatre and Raymond
Management Company – a national hotel developer with a focus on the Hilton
and Marriott branded hotels.
The $300 million project is expected to create 2,000 construction jobs and
4,000 retail, hotel and office jobs once completed. Those jobs could generate
an estimated $160 million in annual payroll.
A ground breaking is expected later this year with Phase I projected to open by
fall, 2015. Please refer to The VOICE for the latest news on Liberty Center!

March of Dimes Awards Major
Grant to Atrium Medical Center’s
Maternal Child Health Center
Goal: Improved Screening and Earlier
Treatment for Gestational Diabetes
The March of Dimes Ohio Chapter awarded Atrium Medical Center’s
Maternal Child Health Center a grant of more than $21,000 to improve
screening for diabetes that occurs during pregnancy and ensure
women at risk for gestational diabetes receive treatment earlier in their
pregnancies. Receiving one of only six grants awarded statewide by the
March of Dimes Ohio Chapter for 2013, Atrium’s project has the potential
to serve as a model for other prenatal care providers.
“We are very grateful to the March of Dimes for their confidence in
Atrium and their support of mothers and babies in southwest Ohio,” says
Michael D. Stautberg, president, Atrium Medical Center Foundation. “This
grant is vital in our ongoing efforts to reduce preterm births and change
the outcome for the low-income women and children served by the
Maternal Child Health Center.”

Buckeye Pens
In a world of mass
produced stylus pens
and logo imprinted
USB drives, it is
refreshing to meet
an individual who
still makes a product
by hand that is both
unique and has
“local appeal” to
anyone living in the
Buckeye State.
Len Kaltman, an
8 year veteran in
the West Chester
▪ Liberty Chamber
Alliance, is a passionate photographer and is event responsible for the
photos taken at all Chamber Luncheons and major events throughout
the year (as seen in The VOICE and online). About a year ago, Len took
his hobby of building wooden furniture to a “smaller format” by making
beautiful hand turned and finished pens. The pens are made from
authentic Ohio Buckeye Burl, a rare and expensive lumber prized by
wood turners and craftsmen. The Artisan Line features designs inspired
by Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Art Moderne, styles that were popular
during the late 19th and early 20th century.
The short story is that Len’s son, 13 at the time, needed something to
occupy his free time. Len introduced the pen making process to his son
and they’ve been making them ever since. With each pen taking around
45 minutes to an hour to hand turn on a lathe, finish and assemble, a
question came up as to how Len is able to keep up with the production,
while keeping quality standards high. With his recent success, Len was
able to hire three veterans to help, “It turned their hobby into a part time
job, and puts some extra money in their pockets.”
You can find Buckeye Pens at 8 retail stores, plus the Dayton Historical
Society and Ohio State Capital building! They retail for $90 and can
also be purchased directly from Len Kaltman for corporate gift giving.
Future plans for the company include launching the “Patriot Line” as
well as a more feminine line that will feature a smaller pen and ‘jeweled’
for today’s working women. Plus, Buckeye Pens offers a discount to
Chamber Members! For more information, visit www.Buckeyepens.com.

What’s New in
Liberty Township
www.liberty-township.com
Liberty Township, Ohio 45069 Now Approved for use
with the Township’s Central Business District
Liberty Township businesses and residents are now able to utilize “Liberty
Township” as the city name with the 45069 zip code. Traditionally, this
pocket of businesses and homes located along Liberty Way and north to
State Route 29 were required to utilize West Chester, Ohio 45069 with their
Liberty Township address.
The Township has been working with the U.S. Postal Service to ensure that
all businesses and residents within this pocket of
the community are able to be identified as part of
Liberty Township. The process involved verifying
the streets and addresses that exist within the
45069 zip code in Liberty Township with the U.S.
Postal Service to allow the use of “Liberty Township”
or “West Chester” with the 45069 zip code within this specific pocket of
the community. This applies to approximately 145 parcels and 50 Liberty
Township businesses that currently fall within the 45069 zip code area. The
number of businesses in this area will increase significantly when the 1.1
million-square-foot Liberty Center mixed-use development along Liberty
Way opens in 2015.
U.S. Postal Zip Codes do not represent jurisdictional boundaries of
townships or municipalities,
but rather are established based upon postal delivery routes and the
location and size of the post office serving an area. Liberty Township’s
28 square miles are served by five zip codes because there is not one
zip code specifically associated with Liberty Township. The majority of
businesses and residents fall within the 45011 (Hamilton) or 45044
(Middletown) zip codes. Several years ago, the Township worked with the
U.S. Postal Service to allow all businesses and residents with these two zip
codes to utilize Liberty Township, Ohio as an acceptable
mailing address. The Township has now added 45069
(West Chester) to the list of zip codes permitted to
use “Liberty Township” as the city name with the
existing or previously approved zip code.
Participation is optional as the mailing addresses within this designated
area did not change, but rather now have the opportunity to utilize “Liberty
Township” as the city name if desired. Therefore, existing businesses and
residents do not need to update letterhead or menus at this time but
can consider including “Liberty Township” to better identify their locations
in the future as collateral materials are reprinted. The goal is to provide
all businesses and residents the ability to proudly identify their Liberty
Township location.

ANNIVERSARY
C E L E B R AT I O N
Big retailers have Black Friday, online retailers have Cyber Monday and
for the past three years, small business owners have their kickoff to the
holiday shopping season with Small Business Saturday.
Why you ask? Because small businesses (fewer than 500 employees) are
an essential component to the U.S. economy, accounting for a whopping
99.7% of all employer firms and more than 60 million employees. Small
businesses are responsible for 64% of the new job growth over the past
15 years.
ANNIVERSARY
C E L E B R AT I O N
American Express started Small Business Saturday in 2010 as
a way to help generate more awareness for local small businesses,
and help them get more customers. Last year, more than 100 million
consumers shopped in small local stores, as well as small online
storefronts. Shopping at small businesses shows support for the local
brick and mortar shops that create jobs, boost the economy, and preserve
neighborhoods.
For more information, visit www.shopsmall.com for tools to support your
efforts as a small business during the holiday shopping season.

October Luncheon Recap
The pipeline of tomorrow’s engaged, productive, employees is being developed today
in our schools. With this in mind, the audience’s business professionals listened
attentively to three local educational leaders who spoke at the October 8th Monthly
Member Luncheon, held at Wetherington Golf and Country Club in West Chester.
Drew Dinkelacker of Marketing Accelerator.com, emceed the luncheon. He introduced
the education panel, which included representatives from Butler County’s full spectrum
of schooling, from early childhood through employment-readiness.
Superintendent of the Lakota Local School District Dr. Karen Mantia, Superintendent of
Butler Technology and Career Development Schools Bill Miller, and Associate Provost
and Regional Dean of Miami University Regionals Dr. G. Michael Pratt reported that the
region is appropriately focused on both workforce and individual development.
Bill Miller outlined the depth of resources at Butler Tech, emphasizing that the
school is proud to be both a vocational school and an institution of adult and
corporate learning. He told stories that shined a light on what successful completion of
an academic program can mean to the individuals who graduate.
SPEAKERS - From left: Bill Miller, Butler Tech; Dr. Karen
Mantia, Lakota Local Schools; Dr. G. Michael Pratt, Miami
University Regionals
Bill also emphasized that Butler Tech works with regional businesses to provide
in-house training on needed topics. He said that Butler Tech continues to grow with the
needs of Butler County.
Dr. Karen Mantia spoke about the Lakota School District’s commitment to prepare
its students for the workforce and society of their future. She discussed the district’s
commitment to fostering the kind of critical thinking and problem solving skills that
employers need.
Karen noted that over the last three years the school district, which operates with a
balanced budget, has reduced annual spending by $20.8 million. She said they are
unfortunately seeing the organizational impact of that constraint. She reminded voters
to consider the November 2013 levy that would increase the district’s funding by
$13.8 million annually.
Dr. G. Michael Pratt spoke about the growth at Miami University’s regional
campuses, noting that enrollment grew at institutions across the country during the
years of high unemployment. But MU’s programs, which now include a selection of
full bachelor degrees at the regional locations, have impressively maintained those
numbers even as the economy recovers.
EMCEE - Drew Dinkelacker, MarketingAccelerator.com
The regional campuses offer career paths to adults and non-traditional students. They
also serve as a pathway to University life for students who start there and relocate
to MU’s Oxford campus. The regional locations are leading Miami University into the
future by offering twice as many online learning options as the main campus.
Now, more than ever, the future of business on the I-75 Growth Corridor depends on
the ability of our schools to teach our future leaders. These education leaders have
shown we’re on an impressive path.

Update on Lakota Local Schools
As I write this, I don’t know yet whether voters will have approved
the school levy on the November ballot. But as you’re reading it,
the result may be known.
Regardless of the outcome, it will not change the Lakota School
District’s commitment to operating with fiscal responsibility and
controlling spending.
Everyone, of course, supports fiscal responsibility. I have never met
anyone who’s against it. But it means different things to different
people. I’d like to comment briefly on what it means to me.
Being fiscally responsible doesn’t just mean cutting spending. In
fact, to do that without careful thought
about how it affects the educational
program is fiscally irresponsible.
Fiscal responsibility means to me, and
I believe to many of our fellow Chamber
members, three primary things: 1)
Directing resources to where they most
effectively and efficiently help provide a
quality education for all the students in
the Lakota Schools. 2) Operating and managing with both a shortand long-term perspective in mind. 3) Balancing the needs of all
the stakeholders we serve.
The first, directing and allocating resources to where they’ll do
the most good, is what I spend a large part of my day-to-day
work doing. It involves reviewing the priorities and plans of the
different departments in the district and making sure they’re all in
alignment. It also means benchmarking how we allocate resources
against other high-performing organizations, usually education
organizations but not always, to determine if we’re being as
effective and efficient with our dollars as we can be.
Managing for both the near term and the long term is another
part of fiscal responsibility. Our budget is balanced. That’s
the short term. Jenni Logan, the district’s treasurer, also does
budget forecasts looking five years into the future so we know
what revenues and expenditures are likely to be in the coming
years. Even with all the inherent uncertainty in school funding,
Jenni’s forecasts have proven to be very accurate. Another part
of balancing short and long term is capital equipment decisions,
where we closely look at payback periods for items that cost
significant dollars but will result
in long-term savings.
Balancing the needs of all
stakeholders is probably the
most important, and the most
difficult, part of true fiscal
responsibility. We always
need to be mindful of all the
residents in our community,
whether or not they have children currently attending a Lakota
school. Our employees, vendors, the business community, alumni
– they are all part of the Lakota family, along with its more than
16,000 students. Ensuring we’re fiscally responsible is one of the
best ways to gain and keep the support of all our stakeholders.

Lakota Local Schools
Serving Our Community: Reach Out Lakota
You can make Christmas merry for a local child in need this
holiday season. It’s easy and rewarding to make a difference
and it starts with the annual Giving Tree program coordinated by
Reach Out Lakota.
The Giving Tree will include ornament tags with the age, gender,
and first name of a child who has been pre-registered to
participate in Reach Out Lakota’s Adopt-a-Child Christmas
Program.
Simply take a tag off the tree, then purchase a new gift or gift
card valued at $25 and drop it off at the Chamber by December
6 or at Journey Church, 7974 Barrett Road, between 1-8 pm on
December 9. The Giving Tree will be available at the Chamber’s
November Luncheon and then at their office until December 6.
Last year, nearly 900 children were able to experience the joy of
the season, thanks to the generosity of people in our community.
“We always say we give people a hand up,” says Lourdes A.
Ward, executive director of Reach Out Lakota. “This program
16
www.TheChamberAlliance.com
truly helps lift up struggling families so that they can provide
Christmas gifts to their children and bring smiles to their faces
on Christmas morning.”
Another way you can help is by making an honorary
donation in any amount to the program. “This is a great
way to honor your friends and co-workers this season
while helping a worthy cause,” says Ward. “This is a gift
that both you and the honoree know will be used to
truly help someone in need.”
Honorary donations received by December 15 will
be acknowledged with a certificate to the honoree
in time for Christmas. To make an honorary
donation please contact Lourdes Ward at
513.779.7515 or [email protected].
Thank you for your support of Reach Out
Lakota not only during the holidays, but
throughout the year.
