Interns, church and arts groups introduce programs and events at Fort Thomas council meeting
Summary
Visitors and community groups used the council meeting to introduce a Highlands High School intern and instructor, a new local church, and programming from Village Players and the Fort Thomas Business Council.
Several visitors used the Fort Thomas City Council public‑comment period to introduce ongoing community programs and welcome newcomers to the city.
Elise Connor, a business‑school credit instructor at Highlands High School, introduced JP, a junior enrolled in a business launch program that allows students to earn dual credit through NKU or WKU. Connor said JP will finish four college credits by May, saving the student an estimated $7,200 (figure provided in meeting remarks). She described internships JP is completing with city staff, including mapping double utility poles via Google Earth and compiling a master list of city parcels using Link GIS and Campbell County property resources.
JP told council he started the city internship in January and described tasks with city departments including work on utility pole documentation, revenue budget sheets and marketing support.
Michael Clary introduced Christ the King Church, which recently acquired a Fort Thomas property previously occupied by Highland Hills Baptist Church. He said the church is a conservative, Southern Baptist congregation of about 250 in attendance that expects growth and hopes to serve local needs.
A representative of Village Players described an artist series, upcoming productions including The Shining Lives (April 25–May 3) and auditions in April for new short plays to be staged in June. The representative said a grant award will fund two college interns to assist a youth program, Next Gen, and the organization plans to continue dinner‑and‑a‑show promotions and youth programming.
Mick Rolf of the Fort Thomas Business Council summarized recent Bridge Back Business promotions across nearby cities and reminded attendees of an upcoming state‑of‑the‑city update scheduled next Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. He also noted local businesses that participated in recent events.
The speakers’ remarks were informational and no formal action was taken on the items they described.
