Progress is being made on the ‘trespass camper’ situation! Go under any overpass in the CEID and you know the awful situation business owners are facing. There’s good news on what is being done about this issue which you can read about here: http://ceic.cc/2010/01/13/police-to-address-trespass-camper-issue-in-ceid/
Clay Street/ Green Street final report now available – Check out what the future of Clay Street is and how it will change over the next couple of years by going here: http://ceic.cc/2009/12/28/green-street-clay-street-project-final-report-is-here/

How are you going to get there? With so much construction going on in the area, traveling from point A to point B can be quite the challenge. Make it easier on yourself by knowing what streets are closed or have lane reductions, which you can see here: http://ceic.cc/2009/12/28/street-closures-and-detours-in-the-area/

Can you spare some time on February 23rd? We promise you’ll have a ball at our Bowling Bash – You’ve heard stories about it, maybe even seen a photo or two of the event. This year, make sure a part of it. The CEIC Annual Bowling Bash sponsored by Key Bank is here and whether you want to bowl, socialize or be a sponsor, all info on this event can be found here: http://ceic.cc/2010/01/12/bowling-bash-is-feb-23rd-you-going/
